TO THE DEGREE YOU HAVE KNOWN YOURSELF,
YOU WILL KNOW THE WHOLE UNIVERSE.

(Page 5 of 7)

      Come back to your sweet Self. Once you find your home within your True Self, anywhere you go will be your home. Fortunately you cannot enter within your True Self unless you are Truth-full. When Jesus said, "I am the Way," he also said, "I am the Truth and the Life." You cannot divide life from Truth. Follow this Way, a Divine Way. The human way is not necessarily sinful or bad. The only difference is that human life is beset with both happiness and unhappiness, sin and virtue, pain and pleasure, togetherness and separation, friendship and enmity, loss and gain, and so on. The Divine way is all Light, all Love, all Truth, all beauty and all wisdom. There is relativity in human life and absoluteness in spirituality. Therefore Truth shall free you. All religions have said that Truth is supreme. So, if you want to get rid of fear, shake off your selfishness, greed and attachment, any garbage of the mind. There is no shortcut or bribery on the spiritual path. God cannot show you His vision out of flattery or praise. He accepts no bribes. There is no outward show to God's lovingness. There is an absoluteness in your Lord and there is relativity in your human life.
      If you are satisfied with your role in the relative life, I have no preaching. But I am sure nobody is happy with this. Those who are happy today, tomorrow they are not. Or if today they are unhappy, tomorrow they are happy.

It goes like that: from hope to hopelessness, from hopelessness to hope. You go on playing games of mind in order to save face, prestige, security or position. It does not work unless we are on Truth. And thank God that it is a universal law, applicable to all.
      To the degree and proportion you know yourself, you will know others; it is directly proportional, mathematically. To the degree you have known yourself, you will know the whole universe. To the degree you have attained peace, you will find peace in the world anywhere you go. To the degree you have found love within your own heart, you will find love in the world, everywhere. To the degree you have faced your mind, you will be able to face things in the world. Your own mind is, as if, a stage rehearsal. The things you accomplish within your own mind will be your accomplishments in the world. It works wonderfully. That is why we say that God or the world or the universe is already perfect.

DEVELOP YOUR PERFECTION WITHIN; you will see everything perfectly, not as you see now. Many people ask how I can call everything perfect. I say it is perfect, not the way you are seeing, but the way I am seeing. If you become perfect, you will find perfection everywhere. The world is simply a symbolic reflection of our own mind, not one percent less, not one percent more.
