Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 The proof of rain is in the wetness of the ground. Likewise, the proof of true devotion is in the peace of mind that the aspirant has been able to attain - the peace that protects him against the onslaught of failures and disappointments, the stillness of mind which is not agitated by loss and dishonour or perturbed by anger, jealousy and other lower passions. Know that you are the embodiment of that peace. Whoever has the determination, discrimination, steadfastness and the earnestness to reach the goal will reach it. Develop largeness of heart. The heart is not a physical organ. It derives its name " Hridaya " (in many Indian languages) from the fact that it is a seat of daya (compassion) . Develop compassion for all. Go forward from the narrow feelings of " I " and " mine " to " We " and " Ours " . It is not easy to comprehend the formless, attributeless, infinite Divine. The truth of the Divine has to be discovered and experienced by each one. The Divine is Omnipresent. You must lead a life of truth and godliness based on this conviction.
