The Path of Realization

My Dear Child,

I am very happy. I received your lovely letter yesterday. How is your health? Don’t worry about that. Your Lovely God is always with you, in you, around you. Since some days, your sister-in-law is with me (at Brindavan). She is very happy doing bhajans and dhyanam daily. My dear! All are our fellow passengers in the journey of life. All life-plants and animals are My devotees. Not only My Bhaktas, but all men — the good and the evil, the spiritual and the wicked are going to the same goal. All are in the same stream, each is hurrying towards that infinite freedom.

Dear one, the moments of realization are those when all thoughts of worldly relations, worldly desires, worldly needs, are all melted into God-into Truth. My dear one! Every being that is in the Universe has the potentiality of transcending the senses. Even the little worm will one day transcend the senses and reach God. No life will be a failure. There is no such thing as failure in the Universe. A hundred times a man will hurt himself, a thousand times he will tumble, but in the end he will realise that he is God.

My boy! You and I are both outlets of the same channel and that channel is God. As such, your true nature is God and so am I. You are of the nature of God by your birthright. The pure heart is the best mirror for the reflection of truth. So, all these disciplines are for the purification of the heart and as soon as it is pure, all truths flash upon it in a minute. All Truth in the Universe will manifest in your heart if you are sufficiently pure. 

Child! The harder the circumstances, the more trying the environments, the stronger are the men who come out of those circumstances. So welcome all these outside troubles and anxieties.

When the bubble bursts, it finds itself the whole ocean. You are the whole, the infinite, the all. Out of long churning of this milk of the world comes butter, and the butter is ... God. Men of heart get the butter, and the butter—milk is left for the intellectual!

My Love! Tell My grace and blessings to all your Sai brothers and sisters.

With Love,

Baba
