Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 LET US MIND OUR MIND When we begin to live the spiritual life, we touch a deeper note and we cease to judge from the surface. All differences are to be found only on the surface and one who lives constantly on the surface does not see the connecting link between man and man, between one soul and another; but he who has learned to live below the surface sees unity everywhere. He is not dependent on human judgments; he is not influenced by the world. He is wholly guided by protected by the Divine. In all his undertakings he is led by the hand of God. To him God is more real than any creature of flesh and blood. He walks with God; he talks with God; he lives with God. His whole being is centered in God, so that, whether he speaks or does not speak, he expresses the thought of God. He does not have to use words to do it. Rather he knows that the Infinite can never find full expression in finite words. Therefore in the Vedas it is said that the glory of the Supreme is beyond mind and speech. It is the ignorant man who claims loudly that his belief is the only belief, his path the only path; but one whose vision has become expanded through a larger realization grows dumb and his silence is the most eloquent expression of Truth. Let us give our inner being a chance to listen to the voice which is too subtle for the physical ear to hear. If for a few moments only each day we can still the noisy energies of our mind and body and learn to practice true silence, it will create a dynamo of spiritual power and elevate our whole being to the lofty heights of a new consciousness.
