- Intelligence
Often we find intellectuals decrying some practices as superstitious - "we cannot understand them".
In that case they have no intelligence!
They are incapable of finding out why these customs came into being!
- Why?
This simple question often asked and always abandoned prematurely can lead us to Truth.
He is dead. Why?
Because of cancer. Why?
Because the cells multiply too fast. Why?'
Because the time has come for him to die or leave this body. Why?
Because his karma had come to an end. Why?
Because the soul had undergone the experiences to purify itself and learn further lessons. Why?
Because the imperfect, impure soul has to become perfect and pure. Why?
Because it has to realise its identity with God. Why?
Because in fact it is ever at one with God and duality is illusory!
- Darkness in Light
Look at the flame of the candle - it has a secret message. It says: "There is no darkness - you have invented the word." "But" , you say, “It is dark in the next room". "Come" says the candle-flame , "Let us see". When you both enter the next room, you find you were wrong and the candle-flame was correct! There is no darkness in light.
- Om Mani Padme Hum
Om - I invoke the path and experience of universality so that
Mani - the luminosity of my immortal mind
Padme - may be unfolded within tbe depths of the lotus center or awakened consciousness
Hum - and I may be wafted by the ecstasy of breaking through all bonds and horizons.

- Evolution
When the animal lifted its forelegs and looked up to the heavens, he became 'Man. Later he worshipped the Gods of heaven - rain, wind and sun etc. But Man found that even His Blessings could not give him permanent satisfaction. Then Saints and Scriptures reminded him that that satisfaction was neither on earth nor in heaven but “within you is hidden God."
