- Routine
When intelligently practised, routine spiritual practices help us greatly. They become like rivers of spiritual light.
We are not same any two days!
And hence the Sadhana assumes fresher significance every day.
On the contrary, if we give up Sadhana altogether, looking for something spectacular, our spiritual personality becomes stagnant.
And, like a stagnant pool of water, it does not stay in the same condition but soon becomes dirty and filthy.
Life cannot be stagnant.
Even spiritual practices can become monotonous, boring, and therefore unspiritual.
So be vigilant and try to feel the presence of God in everything you do.
- Prayer
If you have earthly rewards, give them to your "enemies" - they will enjoy and perish sooner!
If you have heavenly rewards, give them to your friends - they deserve it.
I ask for only the privilege of praying to you, Oh Lord.
- God's Will
Will is the Father - Mind is the Mother.
The Universe is the offspring - even in regard to our thoughts and dreams.
Godd Will is truly God's Will.
Man in his limitation can never be really good; when his selfishness and ego are eradicated, what radiates from him as Goodwill is God's Will and irresistable.
It must fulfil itself.
- God
Develop the feeling that you only have God to protect you.
Everything that happens and everyone that looks after you and everything that you have is God only, and is God's Will.
God comes in these forms to give us guidance and comfort.
- Good and Evil
Good and evil can never be absolutely solved.
Dr. Robinson reminds us in his book "Honest to God" that we should preach charity or love and let people practise it.
But that is not possible for all - and when two people's idea of charity - love differ, there will be chaos.
Hence there are:
(1) Penal Code, (2) Moral Code, (3) The Law of Charity, (4) The Absolute - beyond good and evil.
(1) Man is afraid of the policeman and tempted by social recognition.
(2) By hell and heaven - pointed out in Scriptures.
(3) He transcends them and like Jesus appears to violate penal laws and even prevailing religious traditions - expressing the Law of Charity.
(4) He goes beyond evil. But this is not the job of one life-time. It can go on - but we believe in continuing Life.
