Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 48. Purity and Holiness Man's mind is too full of the world and desires demand too much of his time and energy. Engrossed in the analysis of the material world, he has lost all sense of sweetness and sublimity and truth has become just another word in the dictionary. Humility, patience and reverence have become irrelevant .The only ray of hope in this enveloping gloom of fear, hatred and persecution, is the Peace that one can win through self-control and Sadhana (spiritual endeavour). That Peace will pervade and purify the inner consciousness as well as the outer atmosphere. Whenever any person is ill-treated or harmed, it is God who is the target of that sacrilege. Resorting to falsehood is a demon that possesses and overpowers the weak. Indulging in unnecessary talk, talk for its own sake, is a morbid habit. It is also a waste of energy. It disperses company, for no one likes to listen to a bore. If a talkative person is tolerated for a minute, he will stick to you for days. There are also others, who spread rumors and gossip, and spoil your peace of mind and poison the spring of love. You must stay away from these habits, weed the bad in you, and be engaged in developing the good in you, heightening your purity and holiness.
