- I made a mistake
It would be a mistake not to make it if it was necessary.
I realised that it would be a mistake if I did not realise it was a mistake.
Relax! All is well.
- Blessed
'Blessed are ye when you are spoken ill of' - but only if it is for 'My sake'.
This is the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount and Gita Chap. II.
- Good and evil
So long as you are tied to the 'now' and 'here', you cannot understand what is good and what is evil.
A man standing on the edge of a big pit is puzzled and worried.
Who or what - a big bomb?, created this disaster?
But when he flies aloft, he sees that engineers have dug that earth in order to build a dam nearby.
Take a Cosmic view of everything.
Be in tune with the Infinite, through fasting and prayer.
You will understand everything.
- God and Lightning
When we say that lightning is the work of the Gods, echoed in the Bible: 'Behold, he scatters the lightning about Him.' - Job. 36, you answer, 'But we know scientifically how lightning is caused'.
True, we do not deny your physical analysis. But ... when I lift my hand, it is possible to give a physiological explanation - which muscles contracted and which stretched and how the hand was raised.
But do not forget that the muscles obeyed the command of 'my intelligence'.
Similarly in nature - God's Body, everything takes place guided and governed by His Intelligence.
Science and Religion are thus reconciled.
- Sincerity
People glorify others in order to glorify themselves, to see their own name in print.
If I say that Sivananda is God, others say much more in order not to be considered inferior to me - without a trace of sincerity!
