Now express yourself to God non-verbally. Imagine that you
are dumb and you can only communicate with your eyes and your breathing. Say to
the Lord, non-verbally, Lord, it is good to be here with you. Or, do not
communicate with the Lord at all. Just rest in His presence. Also, for the
devotionally inclined, a rudimentary exercise in finding God in all things.
Return to the world of the senses.... Become as keenly aware as possible of the
air you breathe.... of the sounds around you.... of the sensations you feel in
your body.... Sense God in the air, the sounds, the sensations. Rest in this
whole world of the senses. Rest in God.... Surrender to this whole world of the
senses (sounds, tactile sensations, colors....) ......
There is a common tendency to isolate spiritual principles
from politics, especially in these days of great intellectual power. Dreamers
and visionaries are often brushed aside as people with their heads in the
clouds, out of touch with stark realities. In so many ways man has become
wedded to the doctrine of self-salvation, self-achievement and self-dependence
that in the resultant excitement of great material achievements he is in danger
of forgetting the eternal truths upon which this entire universe exists and its
future heritage depends. The bad habit of complaining against others, the
conditions and slackness in sincere attempts, and a lack of love for himself
and humanity and man becomes a prey of vanity which subsists on false values.
Man generally thinks falsely that he is unblemished and superior to others and
that others are blemished and inferior. The inevitable consequence is that he
gets a perverted vision and loses the capacity for seeing and accepting Truth.
If a man develops an attitude of selfishness, he is liable to poison every good
sight and tie. But, if his attitude becomes one of helpfulness and
understanding, he shall beautify every time foes will turn into friends,
problems will have their solutions and man will have his salvation. Unfortunately,
man thinks his gain in the loss of others, his progress in another’s downfall
and his happiness in another’s unhappiness. It is a tremendous mistake and a
dangerous trend born out of indiscrimination and selfishness. The inspired
visions of saints, mystics and leaders in the religious education, social,
economic and artistic scene of every country have truly reflected the true
aspirations of the people. From these visions was born the practical reality of
everything which is recognised to be good in their way of life. And of course,
everything that is discordant or bad is the outward result of individual and
collective negative or evil thinking or beliefs.
Man should not be confounded with a seeming contradiction
between forgiveness and justice. Man’s sense of justice is distorted, on
account of the limitations of his ego, his reactions are perverted. Strictly
speaking, in one sense, man can do justice only to himself because he can
understand his own mind and not of others. As a man and as a sadhaka one should,
therefore, refrain from judging others; and also one should be forgiving others
in so far one feels wronged by others. When the mind is devoid of hate, a long
step is taken by man towards recovery. Love is the tremendous curative force
for an individual and for the society. So the great Master emphasized greatly
this love factor and preached in practice Love all, hate none. God is in all,
do not hurt Him. The urge to give happiness to others helps man to destroy his
own craving for pleasure. The desire for pleasure is the cause of frustration;
giving and sharing what you have and serving others with compassion consumes
the craving for pleasure. He warned an aspirant that generosity motivated by
attachment, and renunciation caused by anger are fruitless. The truth is that
the supreme giver is ours, but all the things He gives are His. Therefore, man
should learn the lesson of giving and giving with happiness all the good that
he possesses and not think that by giving he will lose. In fact he will gain
something which is Divine and Eternal.
