- An Absurd Ideal
Consciously cultivate godly nature by learning to say things like "God's Grace", "This is God's Will", and become aware of God more and more.
Ultimately as a whole, what all this is, we shall never know, because we are part of the part, and have no means of objectifying the whole - which is an absurd ideal.
- Catalyst
"A substance that helps other substances to burn, without undergoing any change in itself" - Modern Science: "Chemistry's Secret Agents".
Such is the desire for God or for liberation.
It enables you to get rid of all worldly desires, but it has no need to undergo any change.
- Instrument
Though man is an instrument in His hand, His Will has to work through him!
Hence, little man deservedly shares God's glory.
Krishna readily admits this one.
Often we find this principle violated in human institutions.
The boss is the power behind all activities - but without the staff his ideas will be still-born.
The instrument must be glorified too, else, it is ingratitude and a disruptive influence.
- Butter
Butter is hidden in milk.
But milk if thrown into water, gets lost, with the butter.
Butter itself won't get lost in water.
Churn that butter of devotion in your heart and God will steal it from you - you won't even have to offer it to Him.
- Heart
Temple is a building - if it is used as a hospital it will be called so!
Only heart cannot change. God dwells in it.
