In this universe there is nothing beyond the Supreme Consciousness. You always remain within His circle.

Imagine that a cow is tied to a peg with a rope. The rope may be short or long, but the cow has to move around the peg. Similarly, human beings are moving around the Cosmic Nucleus.

They go round without knowing that they are tied to a peg, without knowing who is at the centre. They think that they are everything, and that they know so much. They think they are not ordinary creatures. This creates pride in them.

Then, while moving, suddenly a question comes in their minds. They ask where they are going, from where is the inspiration to move coming? When this realisation, this question arises in their minds, then they know that they are moving around a peg, and that they have to go towards the centre, towards the Supreme Nucleus.

The day this realisation comes they become spiritual aspirants and the radius starts decreasing. When the radius becomes nil, then they merge into the Supreme Consciousness.

Movement is the most important factor in this world. Whether you want to or not, you will have to move. If you do not want to move towards Supreme Consciousness, then you will have to move towards annihilation. If you do not take the negative path, then you will move towards the Supreme.

The closer you move towards the Cosmic Nucleus through love, the greater you will become. Your whole being will be illumined with excellence, sweetness, and refined intellect; and thus moving, you will one day merge with Conciousness.

In simple terms, what we have to do is to return home from where we came. We have all come from the Supreme Entity, the Nucleus of the universe. We have to return to the same destination.

The child has played throughout the day away in the fields, and now that evening has come, he returns home. He thinks that his father must have returned home: “Let me return home and sit near him.”

When one is tired of this world and worldliness, one yearns to go back to spirituality – one’s home. And what is our permanent abode, our home? The Supreme Consciousness.

Spiritual practice (sa’dhana’), therefore, is the process of returning home. It is a simple task. It requires no scholarship, no knowledge, no intellectual faculty, no long and tedious lecturing.
