1.Dhyana (meditation) gives you the first inkling of Divine Bliss. Every one of you must strengthen your mind and make it aware of that bliss. Otherwise, there is a likelihood of the mind giving up all effort to reach what is now dismissed as ‘empty’ and ‘useless’. But once your mind is convinced that the moment of attunement with Chaitanya (Divine Consciousness) is a moment of complete divine power, then the effort will not be slackened; you will most certainly reach Atmic realization without further interruption.
2.The Jivi (an individual soul) can discard as many gross bodies in which it takes temporary residence as the number of times one pares one’s nails. But the subtle body cannot be changed; it lasts and persists. This is the most secret doctrine of Bharathiya (Indian) spiritual thought. Going further along this line of discovery, it can be seen that a human being means a complex of the gross body, the subtle body and the Jivi. The Vedantic philosophy declares that the Jivi shares the quality of Nithya (Eternal, Unchanging, Everlastingness) with Brahman.
3.When things are placid, calm, and unruffled, people can merge themselves in the atmosphere of Supreme Consciousness, which is the highest they can reach. The shanti (peace) they taste there is subtler than the subtlest. They must ascend to it through effort guided by reason, through meditation. When the enjoyment is full and complete, it is the attainment of the Divine status, the coveted goal of life! People do not generally strive for it, because they know nothing of its supreme attraction.
4.When faults are found in anyone, you will have to understand that there are deficiencies in their behaviour, that is all. Do not conclude that there is no Divine Atma in them. As a result of the company they keep or the immorality of the society in which they grew up, flaws have developed in them. These are not native to their nature, which is Atmic. You will have to provide them with good company and beneficial surroundings and persuade them to take part in these. You should on no account condemn such people as born incorrigibles, and keep them aloof.
