- Realise
The bird awakes without ambition. It sings without inhibition.
Meditation at dawn dispels the darkness of ignorance.
When the sun of Self knowledge arises, the ever existent Reality shines.
- Meditate
Through deep meditation we enter into the innermost self - to discover ‘that something’ which is beyond the 'me', beyond the ego-sense.
- Give
One is not doing charity to the plants by breathing out carbon-dioxide!
One will die if one refuses to do so.
Neglect of charity is starving the soul.
- Give
I drink water, the water is then in me - no danger in this.
But if I am in the water, I can drown - this is danger.
So let us find out whether the annoyance or any other trouble is in me or whether I am drowned in it.
- Love
Without a single word being spoken, it is possible to radiate this spirit of true love and understanding the spirit that stands "under" every other person, looking up to the God 1n the "other person", bringing out the love rather than the spirit of aggression or domination in the other person.
