- Desire and Motive
It is possible to be truthful only if one is desireless and motiveless.
Desire and motive make people lie.
- Chosen by God
In the Gita and the Kathopanishad we come across the phrase: I choose the devotee on whom Self-realisation is bestowed.
Is God then subject to eccentricities like the human being? No.
It is obvious that the ego cannot realise God.
It is only when the ego is surrendered that God-realisation is attained, and after this total surrender there is no egotistic personality with which to take the Final Step.
The 'I' is dead and the dead body falls at the Feet of God.
It cannot then embrace Him.
It has to be raised to a state of Union with Him.
That is what He does.
Self-realisation is therefore a natural corollary to self-surrender.
- If We Are Good
People often ask: "There is so much of unrighteousness now. Why does not the Lord come?"
We forget that He has promised to come - only to protect the good.
Unless we are good, we have no right to grumble. If we are good - we shall probably not grumble.
- Jnana Yajna
Do not wait until you attain God-Realisation to give of your knowledge.
Only if you give what you have will you get more.
- Creation
The moment when Life became matter must for ever remain a mystery. It is too subtle, even for intelligence to grasp. An atom, or at least its component electron, is weightless - it casts no shadow because it has no dimension. When does the aggregate acquire the dimension to cast a shadow? It will be difficult, if not impossible to find out.
