- Computer
This computer takes the impressions of the good and bad actions that proceed from the person - persona is the mask and the computer itself serves as a screen, a mask or a cloud covering Cosmic Being-Consciousness, and the pleasant and unpleasant experiences that enter the computer or the mask from outside. Of these the good actions - called Satva, have the capacity to make the mask transparent, whereas evil actions, which are Tamasic, though they may be mixed with Rajas, make the mask or the computer dense and opaque. In the latter case, the Light of Consciousness does not reveal Itself, and this computer-mask-cloud floats around from one "body" to another, one incarnation to another, till in course of time, after several life-times of good actions, the mask becomes completely transparent, in which case it is as good as non-existent and Self-realisation has been attained.
- Psychic Travel
Do you have to leave the body and go?
No, like the radio receiver, you only make the necessary tuning within.
- Mind your Own Business
When you drive a car, if you are concerned about the behaviour of all the people on the road, you will crash.
- Unchanging
A changing object cannot assert the existence of an unchanging one. Observers in airplanes flying at the same speed might think that the other one is stationary. To a plane flying very fast, another flying slowly at a great distance off will appear to be stationary.
We cannot positively assert that India did not change its position on the 'surface or the earth' a few years ago.
Geologists have proved that the earth's crust shifts, in a million years, say ten miles. The alteration in position over a decade is negligible and hence convention has it that the earth is stable. We who are changing positions cannot assert that the position of the sun does not change. Only that which is changeless and eternal can know that which is changeless and eternal. The very fact that within our innermost self there is a conviction of the existence of a changeless eternal Being is proof enough that the source of that conviction in us is eternal and unchanging.
- God's Grace
Now in the same chamber called "I" are two forces which are divine and undivine. There is inner conflict. By
God's Grace, the positive - divine slowly overcomes the negative - undivine. When thus the little 'I' is completely
annihilated, the Supreme 'I' alone shines.
