Wipe off the balances of -consequence
Any balance of -consequence will involve some years of imprisonment in the body. The advise man to wipe off the balances by four steps: by scotching all sparks from the fire; by getting rid of all signs, symptoms and causes of fever; by paying off all balance of debt; and by suffering off all consequences of . A spark may start another fire; a virus may multiply quick and bring about relapse; a little unpaid debt will soon assume huge proportions through high rates of interest; a , however trite, done with intention to benefit by the fruit thereof will involve birth in order to eat the fruit. The first stage is - the execution of (action) on proper lines, with proper mental at-tirade; then comes - the observance of moral codes for the upkeep of society and the discharge of one's duties and obligations; last comes - resulting in the appreciation of as the primary . The Name is sugar; you can make sugar dolls of any shape; call it by any name appropriate to the shape, cat or rabbit, eagle or elephant; the sweetness and the calorific value are the same.

Start on the journey to God and travel light will make you stick to the thought of God. Now you are like a mouse caught inside a drum, a . When the player beats on the right, the mouse runs to the left; when the left is beaten, it runs in terror to the right. So too, you run from to (objective world), reluctant to stick to God and at the same time, retreating from the denials and disappointments of worldly activity. You have come from God; you are a spark of His Glory; you are a wave of that Ocean of bliss; you will get peace only when you again merge in Him. Like a child who has lost his way, you can have joy only when you rejoin your mother. The ocean drop rose as vapour, joined the congregation called cloud, fell on the earth, flowed along the ravines, and at last reached the ocean. Reach like-wise the ocean you have lost.

So, she went into the village the other day and collected stones and pebbles from the ground on the site of the house where this again appeared with body. Every stone that lay there appeared attractive and precious to her mind; so she brought a big bucketful to her room, not realising that it would be too heavy a luggage for her when she emplanes for Teheran, Rome and New York. Do not store much, for you will have to discard them one day. Have devotion in the mind, cultivate the feeling, the attitude, the dedication. That is enough. It is only in (the eternal Moral Code) that the importance of in shaping the destiny of man, the fact of the individual undergoing many births in his progress towards birthlessness, and the mighty Grace of God's coming as man among men to gather them around Him in holy companionship for saving them and saving the world through them, is so strongly and so clearly laid down. If you doubt any of these great truths, you are certain to suffer and grieve. Every one of you must be saved, sooner or later, by the Grace of the All-Merciful. Make it sooner rather than later. Keep the goal clear before the eye and march on.
