March towards God The wave dances with the wind, basks in the Sun, and frisks in the rain, imagining it is playing on the breast of the sea. It does not know it is the sea itself. Until it realizes this truth, it will be tossed up and down; when it knows it, it can be calm and collected, and at peace with itself. Man has been sent into the world for a purpose: In order that he may use the time and opportunity to realize the truth that he is not man but God. The culture of the country is marked with guidelines for achieving eternal bliss, which is the consummation of all sweetness, all joy and fulfillment of all desires. But today, each one is struggling to achieve petty things, paltry joys and low desires. When you seek God, you must not be misled into bypaths and mirages. The seeker of the gold must cast away brass and other yellow metals that may distract him. Like the river which leaps over precipices, creeps through bush and briar, flows round hills, seeps through sand, but keeps the goal always in view, one should march untiringly towards God. From ancient times, various terms have been used to describe the Divine, but no one has been able to demonstrate the true nature of the Divine. The Divine is present in all things, and all forms are His. How can such an omnipresent Divine be described or demonstrated? Can anyone declare that something is Brahman (God) and something else is not Brahman? What is the form of the Divine? If you wish to see the Divine, the form you envisage will be only a caricature. Consider your own form as the manifestation of the Divine. Esteem yourself as divine.. Respect others. Love yourself and love others. This is true worship.
