Passage 14

In English

Such an intense yearning must be developed by a devotee for becoming one with God and merging with Him. But today’s prayers have become a mere show. They have one thing in their mind and speak another. When the thoughts and words become one, it becomes a prayer. When thoughts and words take the shape of action, it becomes worship. When there is unity in thoughts, words and deeds, a person becomes a “” (a great soul). This being the position, are we following this principle? Are we experiencing this unity in our daily life? We think something, talk about something else and act in a totally different manner. God will not accept such deviation in our thoughts, words and deeds. The ultimate result we get will be according to our nature. As is the flour, so is the cake; as is the food, so is the belch; and as is the thought, so is the expression. Therefore, you must make a sincere effort to purify your thoughts. You must cultivate pure love. You must develop forbearance. There is nothing greater than forbearance in this world. “ (forbearance) is Sathyam (truth), is Dharma (Righteousness); is Veda; is Ahimsa (Nonviolence); is santosham (happiness); is Daya (compassion); and is Sarvasvam (everything) in this world” - thus goes the saying. means patience and forbearance. When you have patience, you will be able to attain Divinity. Today, we are developing a sort of tension and temperament on every trivial issue. This anxiety and tension are very dangerous. This will reduce the lifespan of an individual.
