Knock At The Door Of
“Seek, seek, and it shall be found” - thus goes the saying. Only when we make an intensive search, we shall be able to find Divinity. There is a storeroom, in which a number of articles are kept. It is only when you enter the room and make an intensive search that you will be able to locate the article you need. You cannot get the article before you search for it. It is only when you knock at the door that the master inside will open it. It is only when you ask the mother that she will give you food. Therefore, we have to ask and ask; knock and knock at the door; search and search inside. We are, of course, knocking at the doors now. But whose doors? This must be enquired. Is it the Door of (liberation) or Bandhana (bondage)? We are not knocking at the door of the indwelling God. We are knocking at the door of the devil’s residence. In whom are we seeking refuge? Are we seeking refuge in the Divine Mother who looks after our every need and lovingly feeds us? Or, are we praying to the devils and mean people? This must be borne in mind. We are seeing the Lord, but we are not seeking Divinity from Him. We are praying to God for fulfilment of our worldly desires. We go to the (wish - fulfilling tree) and ask for coffee powder. No, no, we have to seek the transcendent, Absolute truth from such a celestial wish - fulfilling tree. We must first believe in the truth that God resides in our own body as the Indweller. To recognise this truth, we must turn our vision inwards. In what manner should be our yearning for God?
