True understanding about man’s place in God’s Life Universal will enable man to avoid much suffering – physical and mental – sometimes invited by himself through wrong action, and often created by himself through vitiated imagination.
All joy, howsoever alluring, will fade away, unless it springs from life in the Truth Everlasting.
All suffering will only harden or embitter the heart unless it is accepted with grace and resignation and utilized as an awakener to real values. Suffering will haunt us again and again in numberless ways, unless we give up the illusion of separateness arising out of false identification with the body or the ego-mind.
And true joy will evade us again and again, unless we get firmly established in the imperishable sweetness (ananda) of Life Eternal, which admits no divisions and accepts no limitations.
Be disciples of this Life Divine which vibrates eternally in one and all!
