(Loving Embrace of the Sweet Absolute)
WHAT IS HOME?
IT IS WHERE WE FIND THAT WE ARE
IN THE MIDST OF OUR WELL-WISHERS. If we do not care for our own benefit,
then there are so many who will take care of us, the
whole environment will take care of us, and that is
home.
It is easy to see that AT PRESENT WE ARE MEMBERS OF THIS MORTAL WORLD
BUT BY WHAT ARE WE CONNECTED?
It is our body that is the member.
At present we are like monarchs of all we survey,
but what we survey is all transient, mortal, and reactionary.
What is pleasing today will later on turn into pain,
therefore we must seek a good position somewhere else,
a good place to build our home elsewhere. In the course of that search
we will find that we do have our own home, and it is all-perfect.
From here we may think that most of the existence is here
and only a very few special souls go from here to the immortal world.
BUT GRADUALLY WE WILL COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE HIGHER WORLD IS INFINITELY GREATER THAN THE MUNDANE PORTION WE SEE HERE. We will gradually come to understand
that as in a country a few people are confined in a hospital or a prison
and are suffering, similarly a few persons are here in
this mundane plane to be rectified.
As this becomes clearer to us, we shall feel more courage to proceed,
and with greater speed we shall feel more courage to proceed,
and whith greater speed we shall run towards our home.LET US GO HOME,
AND THE NEARER WE ARE TO HOME, OUR SPEED WILL INCREASE
MORE AND MORE! "Oh, this is my homeland!"
At present we are outside and our mind is also focused outside.
WE ARE HELPLESSLY MOVING. OUR HOPE LIES ONLY IN THE GRACE OF THE DIVINE AGENTS.
They come to pick us up and warn us, "What are you doing? Do not go on that side.
It is the land of danger, the land of death. Come along whith me.
I shall take you to the land of eternal nectar."
Those agents come to arouse us from our slumber, our ignorant madness.
There is a central point by knowing which, everything is known,
by attaining which, everything is attained.
Similarly, if you do service to the center, everything is served.
It is possible, and to do that means to enter the plane of dedication.
So do away whith your animal consciousness that you are flesh and blood. No!
You are not limited to flesh and blood;
you are a conscious unit, and you will not die.
YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER OF THIS DYING WORLD...
