YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR, FRIDND!
The spiritual aspirant is never helpless. The entire existence is supporting him in his
arduous struggle, for he is searching for something which is true to all. One may dislike a
certain thing of the world, but truth can be hated by none! If all the fourteen worlds were
to face him in battle, the spiritual aspirant would count them for a straw! For he is the
immortal spirit, he knows that, the ruler of the heaven and earth, and the universe at
large! You have nothing to fear, friend, God is ever with you.
WHAT IS YOGA?
Yoga is cessation from thinking of particulars, annihilation of the feeling of
separateness of individuality, existing as one and unified with all. Yoga is the dissolution
of thoughts in eternal awareness, pure consciousness without objectification, knowing
without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.
THE ABSOLUTE IS TRUTH
Truth is utterly public. It cannot be hidden even if one would try to do so. Truth persists
and is expressed even in the extreme of untruth. The extreme of Truth is the Absolute.
Untruth is a shadow of truth. The world is untruth and he Absolute is Truth. The world is
represented by ego; the Absolute is represented by the noumenal Being. Truth alone triumphs,
not falsehood.
HIS WILL BE DONE
If He begins to give with His infinite hands, how much will you be able to receive with your
two hands? And if He begins to take away with His infinite hands, how much will you hide
from His with your two hands!
THE UNIVERSAL FORCE
A thing is only a force whirling in a particular direction. One Being is separated from the
other due to the difference in the method of whirling of the Universal Force. Man is
different from a tree because the two are different processes of the movement of the Eternal
Force. This Force is imperishable, eternal, When two beings have a slightly similar movement
of these forces or atoms or electrons, they become friends; when they are identical in
movement they merge into one another and form one Being. The whole universe is only a
diverse movement of the One Energy. When the whirling of this Force becomes in a common way
then the whole world collapses into eternal Existence.
JOURNEY TOWARDS LIFE DIVINE.
O Man! Follow your own religion, but stick its fundamental spiritual ideals. Draw up a
programme for your life, and that shall constitute the preparation for the journey towards
Divine Life. You do not live on earth for the sake of talking about the WHY, WHAT and HOW of
God and Religion, but to lead a virtuous spiritual life with a broad feeling, careful
understanding, devotion to Truth and tolerance towards all beings. Religion is meant to
steer the ship of evolution across the cycle of birth and death. It is not intended for the
purpose of discussion, argument and logic. It is meant for bring and doing. The fundamental
point of all religions is selflessness. This is the beginning of Divine Illumination. The
golden rule of every religion is. "Do unto others as you with to be done by."
ADVENT OF THE INFINITE
The might of thought and the strength of feeling melt into the glory of Experience Whole.
The finite is dead and the Infinite is born at the very same moment. The birth of day and
the death of night are simultaneous.
