Once it happened with our Master,you see-There was a Christian missionaryat his place, Beas, who came tohim and asked, "Look here, who isgreater-Christ or your guru?" He verypolitely replied, "Look here, I have seenmy Guru; I have not seen Christ. If youmake him appear to me, I will meet withhim too!" So these bodies leave; but thatPower does not leave, that continues.There is food for the hungry and waterfor the thirsty; demand and supply is alaw of Nature. The child which was borna thousand years back, a hundred yearsback, or now-God made arrangementfor milk in the mother before birth;don't you think that will continue further?This is the law of Nature, you see,God's law.The Master is the first thing required;second thing is true living. Ethical lifeis a stepping stone to spirituality. Truthis above all and true living is still aboveTruth. We are all brothers and sisters inGod--drops of the ocean of all consciousness;no high, no low; and thatPower whom we worship controls us inthe body. Don't have any hatred becauseyou are a man of position, because youare a learned man, because you are arich man. All are equal. Some are standingat the table; some are sitting in thechair; that is due to the reaction of pastkarmas.Then comes chastity of thought. Thatdefiles the whole body. You cannot expectGod to manifest in a body that isfull of filth. Then comes violence inword, deed, and thought. All this filthcomes through the mind which defilesthe man body. Blessed are the pure inheart for they shall see God. You cannotexpect God to manifest in a filthy home.He is there already; but He won't manifest.If a bulb is there with light withinit, but it is covered over with blackMarch 1973
