Attachment causes pain, and detachment results in joy. But, you cannot easily detach yourself from activity; the mind clings to something or the other. Make it cling to God, let it perform all actions for God and leave the success or failure, the loss and the profit, the elation or the dejection, to God. This is the secret of Shanti (Peace) and contentment.

You wear colored glasses and see everything through those glasses. Correct your vision; the world will get corrected. Reform yourselves and the world will get reformed. You create the world of your choice. You see many, because you seek the many, not the One. Try to subsume the many in the One - first the family, then the community, the state, the nation and finally the world. Thus, progressively march on towards more and more inclusive loyalties and reach the stage of universality in thought, word and deed. This is the Sadhana (spiritual endeavor) of Love, for, Love is expansion. The individual has to be Universalized and expanded into Vishwaroopa (the cosmic form of the Divine).

The mind can be used as a bridge to lead one from the manifest to the unmanifest, from the individual to the universal. Cleanse the mind and mould it into an instrument for loving thoughts and expansive ideas. Cleanse the tongue and use it for fostering fearlessness and friendship. Cleanse the hands; let them desist from injury and violence. Let them help, heal and guide. This is the highest sadhana (spiritual discipline).

There are four types of people: the ‘dead’, who deny the Lord and declare that they alone exist, independent, free, self-regulating and self-directed; the ’sick’, who call upon the Lord whenever some calamity befalls them or whenever they feel temporarily deserted by the usual sources of succor; the ‘dull’, who know that God is the eternal companion, but who remember it only off and on, when the idea presents itself powerfully; and lastly, the ‘healthy’, who have steady faith in the Lord and who live in His comforting presence always.

Compassion towards all creatures is the greatest virtue; willful injury to any creature is the worst vice. Know this to be true; spread love and joy through compassion, and be full of joy and peace yourself. You do not have joy and peace now, mainly because your vision is warped and blurry. It is directed towards the faults and failings of others, instead of towards one’s own. Really speaking, inquiry and investigation should begin with oneself. For what we see in others is the reflection of our own selves, our own prejudices and preferences.

Anger and hatred are useful sometimes like the hiss of the cobra to keep the intruders away. They can be used to ward off the evil that stalks the Sadhaka (spiritual aspirant). Be angry at things that hinder your spiritual growth; hate the bad habits that torment you. Cultivate Jnana (Supreme Knowledge) and visualize the Lord in all the things and activities. That makes the human birth worthwhile. Do not seek faults in others; for ‘others’ are but manifestations of the Lord you are seeking to realize. It is your own fault that you see reflected in others.
