Imperceptible Truth
Somewhere between mad materialism and sleepy spirituality is the path of wisdom, the path of yoga.
On account of its subtlety, it cannot be pointed out as 'This is it'.
It can only be described as the Middle Path.
It is not broad, like the huge middle class in society.
It is the finest centre, the middle, the imperceptible truth.
Duty
Your duty is your nature, and you cannot violate your nature.
It is natural for a bird to fly, but not for me.
If I jump off a balcony, nature asserts itself, not my imagined ability to fly.
Nature triumphs all the time.
Therefore, can I discover that nature?
It has to be discovered now, every day.
It is then that what my duty is, becomes clear.
Motive
When God does something Himself, there is no motive - or no one knows the motive except God Himself.
Watchful
But can I live in relation with others all the time, and yet be inwardly watchful always?
Blind
What we usually do with all the great masters is to follow all the convenient examples - what suits me, I follow.
But I cannot do what is uncomfortable for me.
And therefore, when he does what does not suit me, I say, "Oh, He was so great. He was God almighty; he can do that, but I cannot; I can only do this."
I put Him on a pedestal and worship Him - and what is comfortable, nice, and pleasant, I blindly copy.
That won't do.
