- Frankness and Humility
Very often we are really cowards, not humble, and sometimes it is a form of arrogance, not humbleness.
A man who is truly humble is fearless.
There should be no fear of criticism or any other fear at all.
- Worship
Use the Yoga exercises and instructions to steady the mind, but translate these into your lives.
All sounds proceed from Om.
Treat whatever you say as Japa (repetition) of Om, and treat all that you do as worship of God.
You do not have to worship God in special places only or hold any special thoughts.
Bring Yoga into every action and thought in your lives.
- Purify
You cannot recognise God until your heart is purified.
Better purify your heart first - then you will see God in all names and forms.
- Right knowledge
The Self is entirely independent and exists without the need for anything or anybody else.
Let wrong knowledge go by turning on the light of right knowledge.
Chase foolish thoughts away by looking within; when desire, attachment and clinging infatuation go, fear and anger go too.
Only if we have a guilty conscience need we have frar in our heart.
And if you are not depending upon God but upon yourself, then there is also fear.
- Politics
Politics cannot unite mankind.
It implies a basic duality - one party - the ruling one, and the opposition - or the dictator and the dictated, the ruler and the ruled.
Religion: means unity - of man with God - All.
Politics today exploits the problems created by religious differences. Beware!
