As we come in tune with the perfection of nature,
that Light begins to reveal everything.
It is a beautiful divine play,
a Garden of Eden.

       Somehow, as I have said many times, “God helped me.” It is not my credit. A certain sentence slipped out of my mouth—intuitive, God’s voice, whatever you call it. I said, “Do you know”—and my eyes brightened like Swami Vivekananda—“Do you know, Swami, the servants of God today are the masters of humanity tomorrow.” Somehow this sentence came out and it just went through him and he got quiet. He really mellowed down and after that I never heard him talking in this way. This line saved me too. It came out in spite of me. This is how God or a sage or Spirit works through or helps us. It was just one line but at that time it was really magic for me and for him too. He could not argue. And he changed. He remained a hatha yogi but he became a devotee of God. We cannot cancel these things. We may reject or doubt God the Creator and nature, we may disbelieve this or discard that, we may analyze anything, but where is the support, the positive side? Where do we stand? That is why we come back to God.

THERE IS SOMETHING BEHIND NATURE— call it energy, the Supreme Being, the Reality, the Truth, Buddha, Jehovah, Christ or the Light. We cannot reject these things. We can keep them pending or covered up by our superfluous personalities. We do not have courage to find out that Truth unless we become simple and childlike. Even supposing I do not want to be a servant of God, at least let me finally arrive at realization and find out whether God is there or not. If I go after God to see whether He exists or not and I come to the conclusion that He does not exist, it is a big revelation. But I have never heard or seen or read of even one example where a seeker sought God and found He was not there. On the contrary, they have come to terms with the whole of nature and the Creator, describing it in their own words, of course. You come to this through realization and once these revelations take place on the higher planes you are changed. You no longer doubt these things.
