Will is the basic force and power. We call it shakti, divine energy. In order to know the truth we have to relax. When you relax, the mind begins to subside, to become pacified. Therefore relaxation is very, very necessary. | |
THE
WAY TO PEACE AND TRUTH is a simple, straight road. It makes your
soul free. When you are God-conscious, you are awake and aware all the
twenty-four hours, while eating, sleeping, walking and working. Just be
truthful and harmless. Is it easier said than done? No, it is easily
said and easily done—if you want to. When you are harmless you are
naturally loving; why would you have to fear anyone? The only missing
link is that we have to want to do it. There is a definite path to
peace, joy and Reality. |
In the beginning you have to nourish
that plant of truth by using your will. God has given us will—how do we use
it in other matters? Use it the same way. Untruth binds us; truth shall
liberate us. Truth is aligned with other virtues such as faith and strength.
If we are residing in untruth, ultimately we will be demolished, and that is
what has been the history of all people, all nations and civilizations. Will
is the basic force and power. We call it shakti, divine energy. In
order to know the truth we have to relax. When you relax, the mind begins to
subside, to become pacified. Therefore relaxation is very, very necessary.
Be on truth and harmlessness and you will find peace. You will have God’s
vision. God does not come to disturbed minds or to those who are occupied
with various things. He has a lot of time but if you do not have time what
shall He do even if He comes? Therefore you have to be open and
receptive—then He is there. |
