Talks Excerpt 304. Fall you must, but you must pick yourself up again and go on.

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

Let me open my eyes and see my Self in all, dog, cat, geese – and shoe too.

Be happy always.

Lots of people take knowledge for experience, this is not possible.

Let us get rid of all preconceived ideas and habits now. So much time is wasted if you have to take another birth. You are all so blessed.

What is the purpose of holy men? To remind you. Fall you must, but you must pick yourself up again and go on. No fuss, no tears, no bother; these only delay you.

Do sadhana silently, in solitude, secretly – and serve. The deeper you go within, the humbler you are and the more loving you become. So go deep within yourself.

Who are you to correct another? If you can do it kindly, do it. If not, keep quiet. It is Mother’s child; She will look after him or her.

When you meditate in the heart, the heart must be bare (motiveless), with only a candle. Enter into it, be one with it. Be it.

Afterwards open the eyes and see God in all.

How to get rid of attachment? By attaching oneself to God’s Lotus Feet. Do not think that this is ‘my’ wife, ‘my’ house, ‘my’ car. Rather pray: ‘Do what Thou wilt Lord, I want only Thy lotus feet.’

Renounce. Renounce attachment to the past too.

When you attain purity, you can listen to your own pure voice of conscience.
