- Evil Thoughts
When you push an evil thought away, you naturally have to get behind it.
In other words, you have to be more wicked.
Do not do it! Go to God and let the evil disappear.
- Differences
Some people say: to declare that all religions are one is a superficial view, an act of' escapism which turns a blind eye on the truth of the essential differences.
Can't we look at it this way?
1. In the initial stages of misunderstanding and controversy, there are sharp differences.
2. In the initial intellectual understanding which is superficial there is an essential unity among religions.
3. In the semi-deep understanding once again there are vital differences - unbridgeable gulfs.
4. In the deepest understanding - beneath these gulfs of separation there is a great unity, us there does exist beneath the surface of' the earth.
- Good Nor Evil
There is neither good nor evil, only thinking makes it so - said Shakespeare.
There are three streams of which Creation is composed : Divine or Satwic, Human or Rajasic, Animal or Tamasic.
We have been given the choice by God to swim in any of the currents. When we swim in the Tamasic current we see evil.
- Faithfully Assert
Unless the impurities vanish we cannot realize God.
Until then we must faithfully assert that God is in us.
People consider this foolish.
'When there is a cloud, the sun is veiled. But you still say, "The sun is there. "
- Polytheism
An advantage in polytheism or pantheism is that there can be no exclusiveness! We have a million manifestations of God; two more do not make any difference! We therefore welcome Christ and Allah .
An European girl in Australia heard me say that we regard Christ, Allah, Krishna, Buddha, and all the others with equal vision and veneration.
She said, 'This is indeed safe! We do not know who God is and by this method we are saved whoever it be!'
But suppose we regard Cod as only Allah or Christ or Krishna, and suppose, after we die, we discover that we were mistaken, it would be terrible."
