Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 non-dualism. The third and final stage is the one when all duality has been shed. As you pass through these three stages, you first work as a messenger or servant; later, you worship as a son does his father, and finally, you achieve the wisdom that you and God are one. This is the essence of all religious essence and teachings. If each one does his duty in the spirit of dedication, the light can illumine all. But, if the doors of the heart are shut against the light, how can darkness disappear? A lamp kept on a mound illumines the area; if kept in a pit, it can shed no light. A virtue that is practiced is a lamp that shines for all; good thoughts and good deeds have a way of influencing others. The gems of wisdom, the light of intuitive experience should not be kept away from fellowment. They have to be shared, even at the cost of one's life. That was the lesson Jesus taught and symbolised. ---Sri Sathya Sai Baba From the book "Be Like Jesus": The Good News of Jesus in the words of Sri Sathya Sai Baba Compiled by William and Debra Miller.
