How should we continue to cultivate our spiritual potency in the journey from I to We to He? Bhagawan lovingly instructs us today.
Service to the public is true worship of God. The power of the divine permeates everything. Our journey is from the individual to the Universal, from ‘swam’ (mine) to ‘So-ham’ (oneness with God), from ‘I’ to ‘we’. The effulgent Sun can be seen only with his own light. Similarly, only by the grace of the Divine can one obtain a vision of the Divine. No skill, intellectual effort or scholarship is required to experience the Divine. Just as clouds may obscure the Sun, the clouds of egoism, attachment and hatred prevent one from seeing the Divine. Prayer and sadhana are the means by which these clouds are dispersed. Sadhana is the royal road to reach the Divine. Human make-up is a mixture of good and bad traits. One in whom good traits predominate tends to see only the good in others. Those who have equal-mindedness see the good and bad qualities impartially. It is necessary therefore to cultivate good qualities.
