Accumulation of things cannot win Grace
Attachment to the body complex implies accumulation and acquisition of things that cater to its needs and greeds. Accumulation promotes exploitation;-it cannot win Grace. It has no limit; the thirst increases with each gulp. It always asks for more. Can a lake be filled with a drizzle? Can saliva slake the thirst? Can blades of grass bum as coal? Accumulation of things, of scholarship or fame can yield no good, unless what is acquired is put to practical use for oneself and others. The wisdom to recognize that the body he believes is himself is only an instrument wielded by him, has to dawn in man. That is the first step to the higher spiritual consciousness. There is in every person the ever-free, ever-unattached, ever-pure . That is the (Absolute Reality), the Cosmic Awareness latent and patent in every one. (Divine Communion) awakens when the world is viewed with glorious unconcern. This is the source of supreme (Divine Bliss). How can renunciation, non-attachment, result in joy, it may be asked. Discard the sense of egotism while engaged in activity; discard, while experiencing any emotion or reaction, the feeling of being a partaker - then, one can be ever in joy. Then the (enjoyer) is really a (spiritually advanced person).
