25."SELF IS EVERYWHERE"

-

1. The whole universe has emerged out from the One Womb of Reality, so who is the other one whom I can afford to hate! Nor is there one whom I can afford to court particularly and love specially! All are His (Lord) manifestations alone, including you and me.


2. Do not waste your time and energy to quarrel against or to make friends with anyone; be it enemy, friend, son, or relative.


3. It may be asked then, what exactly is life meant for? What exactly is the direction in which one's emotional energy should flow out? 


4. Answer: If you are a seeker of the Fuller Life, if you are thirsty to hear the Melody in the Harmonious Existence, If you are hungry to taste and enjoy the Essence of Life, seek to realize the One Reality  which holds together the whole Universe into one garland of beauty.


5. So seeking the Self everywhere, lift the sense-of-difference (plurality), born out of 'ignorance'.
