- Punishment
In the Puranas we hear God punishes.
He lovingly restrains us from further sin.
The sinful hand is paralysed - the sinful tongue has cancer - the evil eye is blinded!
Wisdom and worry do not go together!
If your wisdom cannot guide you, what is it?
- Name and Form
Only when the Sadhak - spiritual aspirant is practically able to deny the reality of the name and form attached to him, can he dispense with name and form ascribed to God.
When we are bound down to name and form every moment of our life, to reach out to the nameless, formless in the Reality, will be futile.
But all the same, we should remind ourselves of the Goal.
- Religion
Religion, real religion, is ancient and older than time itself, yet ever new.
Religion needs no name. Love God, Serve All - that is Religion.
If a religion creates a division, then that religion is a fracture!
- A twinge
I had a twinge in the shoulder blade for just a few minutes this morning, and I was admiring the wisdom of God - Who compels us to depend on one another, by pinching me where I cannot scratch myself.
- Catalyst
"A substance that helps other substances to burn, without undergoing any change in itself" - Modern Science: "Chemistry's Secret Agents".
Such is the desire for God or for liberation.
It enables you to get rid of all worldly desires, but it has no need to undergo any change.
