- Self-Realisation
Self-Realisation is inevitable. All the instincts are ultimately meant to enable man to express himself, to realise his latent powers, and to manifest them.
- Angels and Devils
Mythology and superstition suggest that man becomes possessed by devils and often he acts under their influence. "I am possessed by the devil Anger," is better than, "I am angry!" The former keeps "I" as a witness, distinct from the anger and capable of taking refuge in God, whereas in the latter case the "I" is identified with anger and hence there is no chance of escaping from it. Even if the second were the truth, I would love to cling to the first. But the second is not the truth.
- Witness-consciousness
Witness-consciousness and automatic activity.
At first the consciousness performs the work, and there is no automatic work - the previous automatic work was instinctual and reflex action, and hence defective. As this goes on, the consciousness extricates itself from the instruments - viz., mind, Prana and hody, and stands aside as a witness - actively witnessing, allowing the instruments to perform their actions in its light. There then is spontaneous activity which is quite different from instinctual activity. It is perfect, pure and powerful.
- Gwowth
Growth involves mobility. If the molecules of a seed refuse to alter or change, there will be no growth and there will be the crystalised rigidity of a stone.
Spiritual growth is not possible if we refuse to accept God's Will which tends to make us grow. Our refusal to accept Him has made our life one of grumbling and grousing.
- G-o-o-d
Good - God = O.
Goodness minus God or Faith in and devotion to God is nothing, valueless and useless.
Good - O = God. Goodness minus nothing is God.
(1) You should not and need not take away anything from goodness and you will realise God.
(2) Goodness minus negative is God.
When goodness ceases to be a set of prohibitions, but is positively acting, you realize God.
