FUTURE

 

The future is carved

out of the present moment.

Tomorrow's harvest depends upon

today's ploughing and sowing.

 

The past is dead.

The future is not yet born.

If one is inefficient

and unhealthy in the present,

he has no reason to hope

for greater future.

 

GOD

 

Whatever leads man to God

is acceptable;

whatever stands in the way of

realising God,

should be rejected totally

and unceremoniously.

 

....God's prasada or Grace,

held by whomsoever is precious.

God's grace is everything

that it transcends everything.

 

Objective realisation of God

is only a mental delusion.

God is realised only

subjectively as a

supreme experience of consciousness.

 

Like God,

the vision of God too

is beyond words.

 

Man awakened

to the Self's glory is God;

God, self-forgetful

of His own true nature

is deluded man.

 

God is not purchasable

nor is He available

for one's persuasions

to be an ally

in one's animalistic activities.

 

If you want to prove God,

improve yourself.

That is the only method.

 

You can cheat others,

but never yhour conscience,

your God.

 

Man cannot see God,

but God is not an

un-experiencable non-existence.

 

Love of God

is the bright sun;

desire for the sensuous pleausre

is darkness itself.
