When you stand before another, his image is in your eye, and your image is in his; haven’t you observed this? ‘You are in me, I am in you - that is the truth this phenomenon proclaims. When you have faith in this, and when you cultivate love, humility, reverence for life, and tolerance, you are on the right path. When you are not on this path, you are certainly left out, when it is a question of sharing Divine Grace. The body is the temple of God, isn’t it? Well, what does the priest do in the temple every day? First, he cleans utensils and sacred vessels in the shrine. He sweeps the room and washes the altar. The senses are the utensils for the worship of God within; they have to be cleaned and assiduously kept free from dirt. Inner cleanliness is Godliness. That is possible only through sense-control and mind-control; or what amounts to the same sadhana - the dedication of all desires and activities to God.
