Dear Raj

 

Try to develop your intellect and intellectual faculties and to make them as subtle as possible. There must be a harmonious co-ordination of intellect, feeling and will--purified intellect, purified feeling and purified will--not the intellect, feeling and will of the ordinary man. We should develop perfect harmony between intellect, feeling and will. There is an absolute necessity of having real Jnana side by side with real Bhakti, but Bhakti must never degenerate into mere emotionalism or sentimentalism, just as Jnana must never become dry intellectualism without any heart.

 

To the extent we are able to make our mind subtler and subtler through continence, through spiritual practice, through intellectual studies, to the extent our body and mind become purer and purer, we get a vision of Truth. Nothing can be done without a life of ethical culture and purity. Tapas is the one word in spiritual instruction: renunciation, austerity, purification of our intellect, feeling and will; and without tapas there cannot be any progress on the spiritual path. We must have fine sensitiveness. We must develop a fine sense of proportion and become very well-balanced. When we look at a thing, we must learn to look through and through it, not only to see the appearance, the mere surface. That won't do. We must learn to go below the surface and see the reality, and never to take things for granted without verifying them ourselves. Vedanta must not be made a comfortable religion. We must make our nerves so strong through ethical culture that we areno longer made mere creatures of circumstances. Great endurance is necessary. Don't be like weathercocks, don't be slaves of your mind!

"As human being, our greatest task is to realize our true nature,the Divine within.That is the real purpose of life.To realize this core (call it Atma or God),we have to grow.Our personality has develop.Such a development occurs when our sense of divinity envelops the whole

being of ours.When a person reaches the stage where his sense of separateness is wiped out or his ignorance knot is torn asunder,he know himself as the Divine.Then all doults about own spiritual statures are removed once for all.All his worldliness is eliminated andehat remains is a being of pure love and unselfishness."
