People should know God as long as they has the body. This sacred human life is gifted only to realise divinity. One can make one’s life worthwhile by developing divine qualities. What are the divine qualities? God is attributeless, unsullied, final abode, eternal, pure, enlightened, free, and embodiment of sacredness ( ). Not only this, other attributes of Divinity are: embodiment of sound, mobility, and immobility, light, speech, eternal bliss, perfection, delusion, and wealth ( , and ). Out of so many divine qualities of God, do we have even one? You don’t need to put into practice all that is said. Practise at least one teaching of . But you listen and go. Once, a sculptor brought three idols in King ’s court. said to his minister, “Minister, judge which is the best of the three.” The minister pierced an iron rod into the ear of one idol. The iron rod came out through the other ear. This idol was kept aside by the minister. He examined the second idol. When the rod was put into one ear, it came out through the mouth. The same reply ensued. Now the minister put the third idol to test. The iron rod went into the ear but did not come out. The minister said, “Oh king, this idol is most valuable.” “What is the reason?” asked the king. The minister said, “The first idol represents a person who hears with one ear but lets out information through the other. This is not good. The second idol symbolises a person who listens with one ear but leaves out the information through the mouth. No value. But the third idol stands for a person who receives information through the ear and treasures it in his heart.” So, whatever good thing you hear, treasure it in your heart. If you put it in your heart, it may develop at one time or other. It is like the negative of a photograph. When you have the negative with you, you can make any number of copies at any time. What you take into your head, it is like a Polaroid picture. You cannot make any copies out of it. Keep good things safe in your heart like a negative so that you can put it into practice. Many teachers teach spirituality to devotees in many different ways, leading to confusion for everyone. They teach for their selfish ends and to earn name and fame, not for the welfare of society. Aspirants who put in great efforts to learn spirituality should not be misled.
