Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008  God incarnates to foster saintly people, it is said. By saintly people, they do not mean the dwellers in Himalayan retreats; they mean the virtuous person who forms the inner reality of every one of you, the outer appearance being but a mask which is worn to delude yourself into esteem. Every one is a saint, for he/she is an embodiment of bliss, peace and immortality. But, by allowing the crust of ego to grow thick and fast, the real nature is tarnished. By the action of satsang (the company of God-minded persons), by systematic attention to self-control and self-improvement, man can overcome the delusion that makes him identify himself with the body and its needs and cravings.
