- Bhakti-Raja Yoga
Removes unsteadiness of mind.
Many desires reduced to one desire for God.
Many loves are focused as one towards Him.
From the personal to the Impersonal, from seen to the unseen, from idol to ideal.
Ultimately the universe is seen as part of God.
Revolution of nature is necessary to become of God-nature and one with Him.
External worship - inner worship - meditation - realisation - are graded stages.
- Association
Mind works on the law of association.
It prays in a prayer room, sleeps on the bed.
Even if the commode is new, one does not like to eat in it!
- All Religions are Universal
There cannot be any religion called 'Universal Religion'!
If the disharmonious elements which have mostly been maliciously introduced into the pure fabric of any religion, are kept away, we shall immediately have the Universal Religion called Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity' etc.
- Human Birth
Animal has freedom!
Man can attain freedom from samsara - worldly life - hence he forfeits the animal freedom.
If he does not get That, he has lost both.
- Temple
A nation or religion which has many temples is no more spiritually backward than a nation which has many courts and police forces!
Temples have a definite place in the life of man.
The power in these houses of God is at first generated by the faith and devotion of man, but later it offers him protection in times of distress - like a savings bank where you deposit money and later draw on it for your use.
