Let the Divinity Within Shine
My dear! All are our fellow passengers, are travelers—all life, plants, animals, not only my bhakta [devotees] but our brother brute, our brother plant, not only our brother the good, but our brother the evil, our brother the spiritual, and our brother the wicked, they are all going to the same goal; all are in the same stream, each is hurrying toward that infinite freedom.
Hislop! The moments of realization are those when all thoughts of worldly property, worldly desires, worldly needs, are all melted into God, into truth.
Every being in the universe has the potentiality of transcending the senses. Even the little worm will one day transcend the senses and reach God. No life will be a failure. There is no such thing as failure in the universe. A hundred times man will hurt himself, a thousand times he will tumble, but in the end he will realize that he is God.
The harder the circumstances, the more trying the environments, the stronger are the men who come out of those circumstances. So, welcome all these outside troubles and anxieties.

So long as there remains a separate river, distant from the ocean which is its source and its goal, then the river will retain a separate name and have an individual identity. But once the river gets merged into the ocean, it gets the taste of the ocean, it gets the form of the ocean, and it takes on the name of the ocean. If you want to become one with the Lord, you have to get the feeling of the Lord, you have to get the form of the Lord, and you have to get all the characteristics of the Lord Himself. Only then can you become one with Him. You have to feel that all the attributes of the Lord should manifest themselves in you. ‘The broadmindedness of the Lord should become part of me.’ When you have this feeling then you reach the position of “I and He are one;” there will be perfect unity.

Today the seeds are still in the ground, slowly germinating, as the teachings of the Lord begin to spread throughout the world and infiltrate the mind of man. Soon those seeds will begin to grow and what emerges will brighten the world as the beauty of the absolute truth begins to reach so many people. It is a process that takes time and the new Golden Age will evolve gradually… Let the divinity within shine forth. Become one of the beacons to light up the world and hasten the arrival of the new Golden Age. It is there now for some, those enlightened souls who have already reached the state of God realization, it is that awakened state that will lead to the new age.
