Get nearer to God
There is God. There is the individual soul. God is light, like fire. Here is coal. Coal means , that is ignorance. If we want to get the individual soul into (spiritual) wisdom, we have to get them near. When the coal Divine Discourse April 1991 4 comes near the fire, the fire enters the coal. When there is breeze from the fan, the the coal easily catches on fire. When both near and dear are there, we can become one. If we want to attain Divinity, we have to come near. Not physical nearness but mental nearness. Bodily, you are very near me, but mentally you are far away from me. You are all having mad thoughts, mad friendships, and mad desires, so how can you get Divinity? The frog sits on the lotus flower, but bees come from far off and take the honey and go away. The frog does not enjoy the honey. You are coming near, but what is the use? You are not taking the Divinity. You should become like the bee, not the frog. The frog is always jumping around the lotus.
