From Inaction to Action

"Look, when human beings become steeped in ignorance, remain submerged in the slumber of darkness, become engrossed in the state of inaction, and think idly, 'Will I be able to do it? No, no, it's impossible', they cannot do any work. Human beings should think internally, 'I will do the work; I must do the work. When others have been able to do it, I will also be able to do it. I am not inferior to anyone. I have also been born into the glorious human family. I am also a blessed child of the Supreme Consciousness. One who has been born a human being will certainly remain a human being if they do glorious deeds and will ultimately become an ideal follower of the Supreme Benevolence. Their life is sure to meet with glorious success."

The Supreme Witness

He is the witness of all the worlds, all the deeds done in this universe. Nothing is secret for Him, You cannot do anything nor think anything without being witnessed by Him. If anyone says; "I am not being witnessed by anybody," He will be witnessing this utterance. So as the witnessing Entity He is always with you. This is the greatest assurance, because when you know that He is with you, your mental strength will be increased a thousand-fold, because He is always with you to help you. The only demerit is that as He is always with you, you cannot do anything secretly, you will be caught red-handed. But the merit is that because He is with you, you are never alone, you are never weak, you are never helpless. So the duty of a perfect human being, the duty of a spiritual aspirant is always to rember this supreme truth ---- that one is never alone, one is always with Supreme Father. He will always help you, and He will always accelerate the speed of your progress.

God is With You

He appears to you according to your feelings toward Him. If you are subtle, He is nearest to you; if you are crude, He is farthest from you. Do you feel whether the Supreme Consciousness is in India or in America? He is so near as to be in your feelings, and so far as to be in a distant country. When you think He is here, He is nearer than here. He is so near that it is difficult to measure the distance. You go on searching for Him in the caves of the Himalayas and wander here and there, and He is nowhere. But when you attain awareness of Him, you find that He was all along with you in your search. He was seated in your heart.
