Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 February 4, 1935 Mrs. Piggot: Why do youtake milk, but not eggs? M: The domesticated cows yield more milk than necessary for their calves and they find it a pleasure to be relieved of their milk. D. But the hen cannot contain the eggs? M. But there are potential lives in them. D. Thoughts cease suddenly; then 'I-I' rises up suddenly and continues. It is only in the feeling and not in the intellect. Can it be right? M: It is certainly right. Thoughts must cease and reason dissapear for 'I-I' to rise up and be felt. Feeling is the prime factor and not reason. D. Moreover, it is not in the head but in the right side of the chest. M. It ought to be so, because the Heart is there. D. When I see outside, it disappears. What is to be done? M. It must be held tight. D. If one is active with such remembrance, will the actions be always right? M. They ought to be. However, such a person is not concerned with the right or wrong of his actions. His actions are God's and therefore they must be right. D. Why then the restriction on food? M: Your present experience is due to the influence of the atmosphere you are in. Can you have it outside this atmosphere? The experience is spasmodic. Until it becomes permanent, practice is necessary. Restrictions of food are aids for such experience to be repeated. After one gets established i truth, the restrictions drop away naturally. Moreover, food influences the mind and it must be kept pure. The lady told a disciple later: I feel the vibrations from him more intensely and I am able to reach the "I" center more readily than before.
