♥A tremendous stream is
flowing toward the ocean, carrying us all along with it; and though like straws
and scraps of paper we may at times float aimlessly about, in the long run we
are sure to join the Ocean of Life and Bliss.
♥Above all, beware of
compromises. Hold on to your own principles in weal or woe and never adjust
them to others’ “fads” through the greed of getting supporters. Your Atman is
the support of the universe—whose support do you stand in need of?
♥After every happiness comes
misery; they may be far apart or near. The more advanced the soul, the more
quickly does one follow the other. What we want is neither happiness nor
misery. Both make us forget our true nature; both are chains - one iron, one
gold; behind both is the Atman, who knows neither happiness nor misery. These
are states, and states must ever change; but the nature of the Atman is bliss,
peace, unchanging. We have not to get it, we have it; only wash away the dross
and see it.
