Evil has no rigid place in Gods Universe

Life is a tussle between a tear and a smile. Dont think of your tears but

wipe the tears of others. Forget your own sorrow but ever keep in mind the

suffering of others, Kiss those who kick you, love those who hate you.

Sweeten the path of sorrow with the warmth of your heart, the fire of your

sould, the kiss of your spirit. Why fume and fret and be frustrated? Every

load you carry, every harsh word you hear, the taunts and salles of your

wicked world - they are your friends, not foes, for they redeem your soul

and take you to God. Forget the evil doer and forgive him. Let not the fire

of hatred burn in your heart burn in your heart. Replace it with the warmth

of yoru love.

Be gentle as a dove, but stiff as a rhinoceros, when you come to bay in your

fight against the unrighteousness. Forgive the evil doer but annihilate evil

with the sledge hammer of virtue and piety. Be an angle in the grab of man

and spread Gods love and light with all the fire of your soul and spirit.

Virtue shall triumph for it is the will of God. Evil shall be annihilated

for it has no place in the evolution of Gods universe

The purpose of human birth is to live a life full of love for all. No joy is

greater than that of loving others. Amassing wealth, acquiring property,

earning fame, bedecking oneself give but transiet pleasure, not any sense of

fullness. The happiness that permeates our inner being is the happiness of

loving others. When we love others we are not conscious of our suffering the

physical exertion we make and money we spend: indeed the joy of loving gives

us a transcendent feeling. A life in which there is no love for others is a

life lived in vain.

 

I say that when we love a person we forget our sorrow. One day the person we

love leaves us for ever or one day we will leave him for ever. "O he left us

for ever"-"O I am leaving him for ever" : we lament in this manner. We feel

disturbed when we realise that all the happiness that love gave us has at

last proved to be a lie and ended in sorrow. "Is the final outcome of love

then sorrow?" we ask ourself in agitation. The greater our love for a person

the more intense our grief when he or she is separeted from us forever. We

may then even wonder whether a life without love, a life of selfishness or a

life of insensibility would be better. One leading such a life will not be

affected by being separeted from the object of his affection.

 

A selfish or self centred man, however, gather only sin. Is it not a life

lived without joy-a life lived without a sense of fullness-a life lived in

vain, a life like a log of wood or stone.

 

(The problem then is) Our love for others ends in sorrow. However, if there

is no love there is no meaning in life. What is the solution to this

problem? We must create such love as will never change, love that will be

enduring. The object of our love must never become separeted from us, never

desert us. If there were such object and if we devote all our love to it we

would never be separeted from one another there would be eternal bliss,

everlasting fullness.

 

To explain, we must love one Object that never changes. What is the Object?

The Paramatman. The Paramatman will never be separeted from us. Even if our

life departs it dissolve in the Paramatman and become one with him. Only

that love is everlasting which is dedicated to him.

 

The question arises: if one is to love the Paramatman that never perishes,

does it mean that we must not love any one else, that we must not love

others because they will perish one day? If our love for the Supreme Being

keeps growing the truth will dawn on us that there is no one or nothing

other than He. All those whom we loved, all those who caused us sorrow by

being separeted from us, they too will seem to us the imperishable Supreme

Being. We must learn to look upon the entire universe as the Paramatman and

love it as such. Our love then shall never be a cause of sorrow.

 

Even if it be that our love is not such as to embrace the universe with all

its creatures as an expression of the Paramatman, we can learn to love with

ease all those great men of Atmic qualities as the Paramatman, so also our

Sadguru who is full of wisdom and Grace. Sufficient it would be to love them

and surrender to them. Through them the Paramatman will give us his

blessings. When someone we love dies we should not grieve for him or her. We

must console purselves that only the body which was the disguise of the

Paramatman has perished, that the one who was in that disguise has become

united with the Paramatman. Our love then will be everlasting. We must first

learn to have such love for Ishvara and for people of goodness, for men of

God. Then step by step, we must enlarge it to embrace all creation. In this

way the purpose of our life will be fulfilled.
