As Long As I Live,

Forgiveness Is The True Nature Of The Ascetic.

Take The Case Of The Infinite Ocean. There Is No Limit To Its Water. Suppose A Pot Is Immersed In It: There Is Water Both Inside And Outside The Pot. The Jnani Sees That Both Inside And Outside There Is Nothing But Paramatman. Then What Is This Pot? It Is 'i-consciousness'. Because Of The Pot The Water Appears To Be Divided Into Two Parts; Because Of The Pot You Seem To Perceive An Inside And An Outside. One Feels That Way As Long As This Pot Of 'i' Exists. When The 'i' Disappears, What Is Remains. That Cannot Be Described In Words.

The Waves Belong To The Ganges, Not The Ganges To The Waves. A Man Cannot Realize God Unless He Gets Rid Of All Such Egotistic Ideas As "i Am Such An Important Man" Or "i Am So And So". Level The Mound Of "i" To The Ground By Dissolving It With Tears Of Devotion.

Those Who Wish To Attain God And Progress In Religious Devotion, Should Particularly Guard Themselves Against The Snares Of Lust And Wealth. Otherwise They Can Never Attain Perfection.

Why Does God Allow Evil In The World? To Thicken The Plot.
