- Good and Evil
Good and evil can never be absolutely solved.
Dr. Robinson reminds us in his book "Honest to God" that we should preach charity or love and let people practise it.
But that is not possible for all - and when two people's idea of charity - love differ, there will be chaos.
Hence there are:
(1) Penal Code, (2) Moral Code, (3) The Law of Charity, (4) The Absolute - beyond good and evil.
(1) Man is afraid of the policeman and tempted by social recognition.
(2) By hell and heaven - pointed out in Scriptures.
(3) He transcends them and like Jesus appears to violate penal laws and even prevailing religious traditions - expressing the Law of Charity.
(4) He goes beyond evil. But this is not the job of one life-time. It can go on - but we believe in continuing Life.
- Humility
Like the frames of spectacles, some people will bend only if they are in hot water!
- Charity
Do not stray away from Dharma, your obligatory duties.
Set definite rules and ideals such as feeding the poor every day, giving charity and serving someone more unfortunate than yourself.
But beware of boosting the ego and attaching yourself to these actions.
Do not expect any return but do everything for the sake of God.
- Impatience
Impatience in Sadhana is wrong.
It covers up the wrong motives and attitude of the ego.
- Might
Might is of no avail against Divine Right.
The strong man may frighten the police; the rich man may buy justice and legal proceedings and bribe all.
But neither has the least power against a small tuberculosis or cholera germ.
The Divine asserts itself.
