The Secret Path
By Practising the Truth Fearlessly, the Identification
with the body will vanish. Soften the heart through
the practice of Mercy, Sympathy, Charity, Generosity,
Magnanimity, Hurting no one, Mildness, Disinterested action
and Tireless Service. Expand the heart through the practice
of Straightforwardness, Truthfulness, Cleanness of life,
Alms-giving and Non-Covetousness. Purify the heart
through the practice of Celibacy in thought, word and deed.
Practice Non-Violence in thought, word and deed. The practice
of Non-violence is not Impotence or Cowardice or Weakness.
It is the highest type of heroism. The practice demands
immense Patience, Forbearance and Endurance, infinite
inner Spiritual Strength and Great will-power. Let all
Hostilities vanish; Live together peacefully. Love totally,
Practice One-ness, Unity of Self, and Self-restraint.
Constant Vigilance and Alertness are needed; if you are
even a bit careless, you will be carried away by the force
of previous wrong impulses and will become a victim of them,
despite your good intentions. Pursue Silently, Behave
Discreetly. Truth must be observed in thought,
word and deed; Established in truth, all other virtues
will cling to you by themselves.
This you may practice. This you may… become.
The Silent Source
Purify the body, Purify the mind. Purity of body is only the
preliminary to purity of mind. Cleanliness is a part of godliness.
Restriction in diet if adopted helps make the Mind Pure.
Food exercises a Direct Influence on the mind. Purity of food
leads to purity of mind. The Mind is only made up of the fine
essence of food. As the food is, so is the mind. You must be Pure
in thought, word and deed. Your heart must be as Pure as Crystal,
Innocent, Straightforward and Absent of all Evil Thoughts.
He who is endowed with purity will find it easy to tread
the Spiritual Path. Reach perfect Self-Control, Self Mastery,
Control of the Body and Control of the Mind. Lead a
well-Regulated and Disciplined life. Keep all the senses
under Perfect Control. Self-control implies Self-Sacrifice,
Annihilation of Egoism, Patience, Endurance, Forbearance
and Humility. Overcome Attachment and Dispassion.
Overcome Anger and Forgive. Love constantly, Serve selflessly,
Practice goodwill. Overcome evil by good. Return good
for evil. Overcome lust. Practice regular Meditation.
Conquer greed by Charity, Generosity and Disinterested
actions. Conquer Pride by Humility and Delusion by
Discrimination and Enquiry. Overcome Jealousy by
Magnanimity. Conquer Egoism by Self-Sacrifice,
Self-Surrender, Self-Abnegation and Meditation
on the Non-Dual innermost Self.
This you may practice. This you may… become.
The Invisible Source
May you all attain eternal bliss and immortality through the
practice of the virtues. Perform duties Efficiently, Act Freely,
Untied and United, Separate but One. Be Pious and Virtuous,
Heroic and Humble. The form is One, not affected at all
by changes of time, place, surroundings and individual
differences. What changes according to the change of time,
place and surrounding circumstances is the external shape.
The colour of Conduct cannot be disguised. Stage by stage,
complete the Cycle. Let only those Actions that are free from
blemishes be done and not others. Be Moderate in everything and
remember that the whole world is nothing but your own Self.
That work which gives elevation, peace and joy to the mind,
is right, and that which brings depression, pain and
restlessness to the mind is wrong. By doing Virtuous
Actions, you develop a Noble character. Any deed,
any thought that causes an effect, is followed by
consequences, sooner or later. Desire, Thought
and Action go together. Things do not happen by accident
or chance in a disorderly manner. Step by step, every action
produces a threefold effect: it yields a fruit, it affects
your character, it leaves behind an impression in your mind.
The impression will urge you to repeat the act again
and it will assume the form of a thought-wave in the mind
on account of a stimulus, either internal or external.
You sow a seed, a stem grows up. You sow an Action
and reap a habit. You cultivate a Habit and reap a
character. You sow a Character and reap your Destiny.
Silent witness of the actions of the senses and of the mind,
find the Path to the Invisible Source.
This you may practice. This you may… become.
