ighteousness in any circumstances. This is an unquestioned truth.<br />

1974, (36-174)<br />

Acquaintance with the contents of the various Shastras or Vedas is not<br />

going to remove the screen in front of one's mind. On one side of the<br />

screen is the individual <strong>and</strong> on the other side is God. On one side of<br />

the screen is Creation <strong>and</strong> on the other side is the basis for all that we<br />

see. <strong>The</strong> past birth is not known to us, the present birth is not something<br />

stationary or unchanging, the future birth is such that no one<br />

knows about it. Is there anyone who knows about the future? <strong>The</strong> human<br />

body is impermanent <strong>and</strong> transient <strong>and</strong> the living being residing<br />

in the body is indestructible. He is the permanent one <strong>and</strong> he is Brahman<br />

<strong>and</strong> the one who is the basis of all that you see. It is his greatness<br />

that manifests in many different ways. I have been reaching, I had<br />

been reaching in the past, I am reaching now for one who underst<strong>and</strong>s<br />

the basis of all these manifestations. 1974, (36-248)<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is only one common feature for all living things in this world <strong>and</strong><br />

that is the eternal spirit. In all manifold forms of creation in unity <strong>and</strong> in<br />

diversity, we find only the spirit of Atman <strong>and</strong> nothing else. It is the realization<br />

of this aspect that constitutes the essence of all learning.<br />

1977, (37-46)<br />

Creation <strong>and</strong> God are not two distinct things. In your ignorance, you<br />

regard what really is a projection of God's illusion as the world <strong>and</strong> material<br />

creation. It will appear as the manifestation of the spirit of the Divine,<br />

if you act wisely <strong>and</strong> with knowledge. It is only when you can think<br />

of both <strong>and</strong> discriminate between them, will you see the difference.<br />

1977, (37-152)<br />

All things in creation are subject to the law of change <strong>and</strong> man too is<br />

subject to this law. But, man should use the law for progress, <strong>and</strong> not<br />

for sliding down in the scale. Intelligence from the higher self, the inward<br />

Divinity, leads man ever on the path of renunciation <strong>and</strong> service,<br />

for they alone lead to spiritual advancement. <strong>The</strong> higher self recognizes<br />

the unity of creation like the string that runs through each<br />

blossom. When you win the love of God, his compassion will flow<br />

unto you. (...)<br />

<strong>The</strong> universe is the field where God sports. Be aware of this fact, <strong>and</strong><br />

there is nothing more you need for a happy existence. (...)<br />
