- Learn and Teach
Only when you have cross ventilation do you get a good breeze in your room!
It is no use keeping only one window open.
In the same way - learn and teach at the same time.
- Idol
Ultimately even a simple stone should be realised as God manifest.
But in the beginning of our spiritual life we are as children, whatever our chronological age, and only certain specific symbols remind us of God.
- Roots
A root going deep can break the foundations of nearby buildings. Similarly our spiritual roots must be strengthened add made to grow deeper so that the mansion of evil might be destroyed at the foundation.
- Brain Graft
There is a lot of scientific talk that we may get a whole bran grafted from one to another! Do not forget the brain is just tissue. It will respond to stimulus - but will not think, nor feel, discriminate nor decide. The “I" has to do it. You see me with your eyes and hate me. Another looks through his eyes and loves me. Will changing eyes change your heart too?
- Obedience
Submission to the Will of God is a tricky business. It is possible for the seeker to deceive himself and others: "I Am doing only His Will". Even scriptures like the Gita, the Bible and the Quran can be misinterpreted by the ego. To deal with the ego, obey someone implicitly. Try it! This is the purpose of guru bhakti.
Life is beauty when you do your duty.
