Once lay hold of one link of the chain and the whole chain must come by degrees. Water the root of the tree (i.e. reach the Lord), and whole tree is watered; getting the Lord, we get all. One sidedness is the bane of the world. The more sides you can develop, the more souls you have and you can see the universe through all souls - through the bhakta, and the jnani. Determine your own nature and stick to it. Nishtha (devotion to one ideal) is the only method for the beginner, but with devotion and sincerity it will lead to all. Churches, doctrines, forms are the hedges to protect the tender plant, but they must later be broken down that the plant may become a tree. So the various religions, Bibles, Vedas, dogmas all are just tubs for the little plant; but it must get out of the tub. Nishtha is, in a manner, placing the plant in the tub, shielding the struggling soul in its chosen path. continued Inspired Talks 8 Get email at your own domain with Mail. http://personal.mail./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
