Mystical Moments

 

Somehow or the other these universal souls come. They are the real

cosmopolitans. They proclaim the great oneness and brotherhood of all

living beings.

 

Over the course of human history, many a time their teaching is

stifled, is overcome by dry philosophy and dogma. Yet, in spite of

that, it never dies. It is like the grass that is covered over with

snow in the winter. Each long winter you think the grass is no longer

there. But come spring and the thaw sets in and the sun shines again

and the snow clears, God knows, sometimes even from within a layer of

snow, this green shoot thrusts itself out and is seen. How amazing is

this vitality. It never dies. So too with the teachings of the saints.

From time to time, during the course of history, always these mystical

moments keep cropping up.

 

In whichever race, clime or time they appear, these great minds have

ever thought alike. They have borne irrefutable testimony to the

essential underlying unity of all humanity. Their exceptional

character encourages, inspires, and unerringly guide the masses. By

their achievements they indicate the heights that are attainable by

right effort. They show what hidden potencies human being contain and

what high destiny likes ahead.

 

For in their vision they see in you an immortal spark of the divine.

They say that you are part of a Universal Essence, and eternal Cosmic

Reality that is beginningless and endless, that is eternal and

permanent. You have not come here merely to live, eat, drink, enjoy

some little sense enjoyment, laugh a little, weep a little, and then

one day pass away without leaving any sign of yourself. This is merely

physical existence. The realisation of your true identity, of your

immortality, of your essential divinity, that may be held to be your

divine destiny.
