Talk Excerpt 348. Swamiji says: Go inside (meditate within) – this is a razor’s edge path.

From Mother Radha’s notes, written at Swamiji’s feet.

A bhakta loves, even if it kills him. And that love makes him strong, to bear suffering. Flowers wither but love goes on and on.

Try to keep the feeling of meditation all day. See God in all His creation; and love the Creator because you see Him everywhere.

We all want to receive love but we have forgotten how to give it.

In my absence love one another. Give, give, give of yourselves. Give all to God because it is God’s already.

Go beyond name and form, thought and feeling.

Love itself is the fire that burns everything; and love itself is all that is left. It expresses itself as purity, gentleness and compassion.

Go inside (meditate within) – this is a razor’s edge path.

Though I appear to be laughing and jolly, I keep going inside. I check with Mother, ‘Is this okay, Ma?’ If she says, ‘Yes,’ then I carry on. So we must check again and again and then carry on.

Fighting is all ego, so stop fighting and start loving.

You have been like a wandering monk for long enough, now take your begging bowl and ask God to fill it.

There are two kinds of God-realised souls. One group are the great teachers who, after God-realisation, travel and teach. The others are devotees who realise God for themselves, and that is all.
