Guest guest Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord All efforts are now being concentrated on the production of more food, the building of more houses and the manufacture of more cloth. But what is most needed today is a total effort to make man manifest more tolerance, more humility, more brotherliness, more compassion and deeper awareness of the springs of joy and peace that lie within the heart of each one. This country, Bhaarat, must be in the fore-front of this spiritual adventure. Love is the solvent for the hardest of hearts. Without love, free, full and selfless, no spiritual saadhana can succeed. Without it, bhajan (group singing of devotional songs on Lord's Names and Glory) is waste of breath, sathsang (holy company) a waste of time and meditation a self-deception. Bhajan, sathsang and meditation done with a mind soaked in love, can confer peace, joy and wisdom. When the rain drop falls into the sea, it gets the name, form and nature of the sea. So, too, when the individual merges in the vast concourse of humanity and feels one with all, he is endowed with the name, form and nature of Divinity. Whatever you do as service, to whomsoever you offer the act, believe that it reaches the God in that person: Ishwarassarva bhoothaanaam. So it is Ishwaraarpanam (dedicated to God).
