- Constant
Something that is changing from moment to moment seems to be constant - like the flame of a lamp.
The flames of "fire" are being renewed evcry moment, by fresh fuel being converted into fire - but the single flame appears constant - and it seems a mystery that, remaining constant and doing nothing, that flame has consumed all the oil!
- Impatience
Impatience in Sadhana is wrong.
It covers up the wrong motives and attitude of the ego.
- Senses
The senses cannot perceive Reality; but accept it, on faith.
- Heredity
Here is Weismann's theory of "continuity of germ plasm".
The original germ-cell splits into two; one half gradually develops itself into the body of a plant or animal - this is the Lumah-cell; the other half remains encased in the body, practically unchanged, and is transmitted in the process of reproduction to the offspring, that is, the germ-plasm.
Now, this germ-plasm is unbroken through the whole line of propagation.
- Only Son
If you add the words "for me"- everyone who believes thus in Jesus can use it.
But if you do not recognise this principle, then you can honestly affirm it only if you are omniscient and sure that there has been no other manifestation of God anywhere else at any time.
