Inspired Talks 12

 

'This is the highest form of bhakti because therein is no desire for

reciprocity, which desire is in all human love.'

 

'A man who has gone beyond social and scriptural usage, he is a

sannyasin. When the whole soul goes to God, when we take refuge only in

God, then we know that we are about to get this love.'

 

Obey the scriptures until you are strong enough to do without them, then

go beyond them. Books are not an end-all. Verification is the only proof

of religious truth. Each must verify for himself; and no teacher who

says 'I have seen, but cannot' is to be trusted, only that one who says

'you can see too.' All scriptures, all truths are Vedas, in all times,

in all countries; because these truths are to be seen and any one may

discover them.
