Heaven is Within You

Dear child,

The best method of spreading Vedanta philosophy is to live it; there is no other royal road.

Let God work through you and there will be no more duty. Let God shine forth. Let God show Himself. Live God. Eat God. Drink God. Breathe God. Realise the truth and the other things will take care of themselves. True Love expands the Self and attachment contracts it.

Heaven is within you. Seek happiness not in the objects of senses. Realise that happiness is within yourself.

There is no rose without a thorn. Unmixed happiness is not to be found in this material world. All happiness is in the Supreme Self.

In the lowest worm as well as in the highest human being the same Divine nature is present. The worm is the lower form in which the divinity has been more over-shadowed by Maya. Man is the highest form in which it has been least over-shadowed. Behind everything, the same Divinity is existing and out of this comes the basis of morality.

With Blessings,

Baba
