If you, as a young person, start your life by fixing a time and a form and begin your worship, and gradually by your practice you reach a stage when, out of that worship, you can just pick out a drop, a drop which has got a shape and taste, and so on, and put it into the large ocean, then the drop will mix with the large ocean that will appear to you later on as one infinite thing. For this, I will give you an example for what you initially experience as one which has an attribute, which has a time and which has specific shape, as against what you experience later on, as one which has no shape, which is present everywhere and which is not bound by time. Let us take our own congregation at present as the basis, I am now standing and talking and you are listening to what I am talking. But I and all of you are all inside this . You can listen to the talk that I am now giving for about one hour. The time is one hour. Look at this place; it is a small , and it is contained in a vast area and all of you are also grouped together as a body. In all of you, I am also one and am in every one of you. After this, all of you, each one of you will go to your own place or your own village. When you have gone back to your village and at some moment when you think of what happened now, you would say to yourselves that on such and such an evening was speaking to us, we were all sitting there and He was saying the following things, and so on. At that instant when you recollect it, then all of us, including myself, will have gone into you. Thus, this picture that has gone into your mind now will stand as a picture which is known to you all through your life. But this particular discourse with a shape and with an attribute has given you some experience and pleasure only for one hour. Because of the experience and the pleasure that you have derived in one hour, looking with your eyes at the shape and hearing the discourse, this experience is going to remain in your heart and in your mind for all your life. But if this did not happen for this one hour, if you had not witnessed all this, this will never have got imprinted in your memory. So you should not speak lightly of and should not neglect the and the aspect. You have to accept and take it and with the help of that, reach the goal of or .
