If it be true that spirit is involved in Matter…then manifestation in the divine in himself and the realisation of God within and without are the highest and most legitimate aims possible to man on earth.
Burnt offerings, sacred feasts, intense meditations, puja and taking millions of cleansing baths at sacred shrines of pilgrimage: the merits of all these can be obtained by enshrining Lord within your heart for a fraction of a second.
To whom praise and blame are equal, who is silent, content with every fortune, home-renouncing, steadfast in mind, and worships Me, that person is dear to me.
Offer your gratitude to God. Then you will feel that inside you a sweet, fragrant and beautiful flower is growing. That is the flower of humility.
Act always from a sense of common humanity, and let God judge if it be charity.
