Guest guest Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 47. Misery and Detachment What is the reason for the misery of people all over the world? They have forgotten the Divine basis of creation. They have ignored the One Absolute Principle underlying the whole creation. All lives lived without faith and devotion to the One Supreme Lord are useless. Lives spent without tasting the nectar of the Divine Principle are wasted opportunities. The Lord has given man the instruments for developing the intellect and discrimination. If he uses them well and tries to realize the divinity in himself, the Lord will add unto him fresh talent and the sources of power, for He is ever full of grace towards aspirants. It is only by the cultivation of detachment, by denying the senses the thrills they thirst for, and by diving into the depths of one's being with the firm belief that there is an immense inner realm that rewards exploration, that one can capture the bliss of the supreme tranquility. This is the highest morality, for, when this is done, man is saturated with love and has no trace of malice, hate, greed or lust left in him. Man's vision is purified by the ideal of the unity of all in One and the proliferation of One as all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
