If you come in that state, it is all right !†A Saying of Swami Ramdas  The individual " I " is utterly unreal. He and His power are the truth. His power is infinite love and infinite joy. Just as the Sun's power lies in the heat and light he gives, so God's power expresses in love and joy. God and His power are at once one and different, like the milk and its whiteness.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
