No created being in this universe is independent by itself, it cannot exist all by itself. All of us have a supra-cosmic relation with the rest, at times prominent, elsewhere indistinguishable.
The flame of a lamp lights up countless lamps. The touch of a great personality wakes up innumerable sleeping hearts. In the same way, the eternal glow of the boundless e’lanvital of Cosmic Consciousness has been illuminating the life lamp of universal humanism since time immemorial, is illuminating and will do so in future even [...]
Spirituality knows no occupational barriers. It is universal. It is transcendental. It is not reserved for black people or white people or rich or poor. It is the divine gift of the Supreme Consciousness to all earth’s children. Spirituality (dharma) is all-embracing. It is the birthright of all people.
Marching ahead is life. Crushing the pebbles of hindrances and obstacles with a stroke of your feet, disdaining the frowns of winds, tornadoes, meteors and roaring thunder, and rendering all superstitions to ashes without any second thought. March on and on. The Supreme Consciousness is with you. Victory is yours.
What is sadhana (spiritual practice)? Sadhana means an effort. Effort for what? It is an endless effort to become one with the Supreme Nucleus. It is a ceaseless effort to obtain perfection from imperfection.
A prayer to the supreme consciousness… Do whatever you think fit and best for me. I do not know in which way lies my good. You know.
That which makes the mind soft and strong and strenuous, so it may keep itself in a balanced state even in the condition of pain – that which perpetually creates a pleasant feeling within, is called love. Devotion is identical with love. The moment devotion is aroused, the love of the Supreme Consciousness comes.
It is unnecessary to leave the world, to leave service to humanity and to go to the Himalayas to attain the Supreme Consciousness. This universe itself is the Supreme Consciousness – where will you go by leaving it? In the world a person thinks that they are not able to concentrate their mind because of [...]
Devotion is that bridge which connects the individual with the Cosmic Consciousness. Before crossing the bridge of devotion, one feels, “You are that Supreme Consciousness”. But while crossing the bridge, one feels, “I am That”.
Devotion means longing for the Supreme. Now the question arises, is devotion natural or unnatural for living beings? All the conscious or crude things we see in the manifested universe bear attraction for one another, and as a consequence, the continuity of the thought-projection of the Cosmic Mind is maintained. It is on account of [...]
You may be an ordinary creature – you may have to pass your days in the ups and downs of your worldly existence – still do not forget the Divine. Keep all your desires inclined towards the Divine. Always keep yourselves merged thusly. Go deep into the mood of that Infinite Love.
The world is a changing phenomenon. Therefore, it is unwise to be attached to any object in the ever-changing world. The very name and form will undergo changes with the change in time and place. The child changes into youth, the youth into the old, and the old into the corpse. But if wise people [...]
Be one with Him and know everything. If you want to know all, try to know One. If you try to know all, you won’t be able to know anything.
In this cosmic cycle, everyone has their individual and particular desire, and everyone is running after it. Those who have several desires run after all of them and become exhausted; and in the long run they receive none. If one desires to drink milk and smoke at the same time, it cannot be done. A [...]
Now what is devotion? Leaving all the relative things, when the mind moves toward the Absolute, that alone is known as Devotion. When the mind moves toward the Supreme Soul, the nearer it comes to Him, there is an unknowing change in it. The caterpillar does not know when it becomes a butterfly. The mind [...]
To attain complete success in life, one must have mental equipose, mental balance. There must not be any complex in the mind – neither superiority nor inferiority complex. Now, to bring about mental balance, you should behave with every human being in such a way that this superiority complex or inferiority complex develops neither in [...]
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 [...]
From the inanimate to the animate goes the process of evolution. Consider a piece of stone for instance. It has neither the power of action nor the sensation of mind. What is the reason? It is because hitherto there has been no manifestation of mind in the stone at all. Consider the trees and plants [...]
If one could visualise the original form of the Supreme Entity, all the apparent external differences would vanish into nothingness. In fact, the fundamental spirit of intuitional practice is to realize the Supreme Unity in the midst of diversity.
