- Faith-Experience-Realisation
Physics and metaphysics can only describe the nature of the universe.
Both will postulate categories which are beginningless - the atom is beginningless, so is ignorance or cause-effect relationship.
They can never describe the origin of the universe - it is beyond the intellect which itself is an effect of the fundamental postulate.
Revelation is our only guide-test.
Faith is inevitable and experience or realisation thereof.
- Problems
Where there is a problem, have a frank discussion with those concerned and decide the best remedy.
When there is no peace of mind, whatever be the cause and whosoever is at fault, cease all argument.
- Senses
The senses cannot perceive Reality; but accept it, on faith.
- God
Even the descriptions of souls taking the paths of Light and Darkness may refer to Satva - purity and Tamas - inertia. The presence of fire is noticed by its own light - the Presence of God is realised in His own Light - Satva.
Though the Jiva is God, in Tamas it forgets God - smoke will make even the man who made fire close his eyes - electric shock will kill the inventor himself.
- Impatience
Impatience in Sadhana is wrong.
It covers up the wrong motives and attitude of the ego.
