24. Sahavas Sayings

Love is such that the lover needs no asking to do anything.
                                               * * *
"By loving, your whole being will be changed and your life will end
in Freedom."
                                               * * *
"The gift of love is a rare gift of God, and rarely is one capable of
receiving it."
                                               * * *
"God is infinitely more vital to your existence than your breath
which is your very life. Ordinarily, life is associated with breath;
but you only become aware of this when breath is restricted
through exertion, and you only completely realize this when
breath is cut off altogether as when drowning. Similarly, you only
become aware that God is your existence when you pant for Him,
and you only finally realize Him when you drown in His Ocean of
divine Love."
                                              * * *
"It is difficult for one to understand the Spiritual Path, and still
more difficult to get on the Path."
                                              * * *
"What is fasting the mind? It is having no thoughts. But this is
impossible. But when you entrust your mind to me by constantly
remembering me, there are no thoughts left on which the mind
can feed. This fasting is the true and essential fasting. Starving the stomach may
benefit the health but it does not necessarily help spiritual
advancement."
* * *
"You say that you see me in dreams. These dreams arise from
your own impressions formed through your love and faith in me.
Do not attribute them to me. I have come into your midst to
awaken you from the long, drawn-out Dream of Illusion—not to
create more dreams for you!"

63. The Working of the Avatar

The Avatar draws upon Himself the universal suffering, but He is sustained under the stupendous burden by His Infinite Bliss and His infinite sense of humour. The Avatar is the Axis or Pivot of the universe, the Pin of the grinding-stones of evolution, and so has a responsibility towards everyone and everything. At each moment in time He is able to fulfil singly and together the innumerable aspects of His universal duty because His actions are in no way constrained by time and distance and the here and now of the senses. While engaged in any particular action on the gross plane He is simultaneously working on all the inner planes. Unlike the actions of ordinary men, the Avatar's every action on the gross plane brings about numberless and far-reaching results on the different planes of consciousness. His working on the inner planes is effortless and continues of itself, but because of the very nature of grossness His work on the gross plane entails great exertion. As a rule each act...

60. The World is a Prison

The world is a prison in which the Soul experiences being behind the bars of its gross-subtle-mental body—the Soul, eternally free, lone Sovereign and supreme Lord! Illusion's hold is so strong that the Soul experiences itself as serf rather than Soul. Illusion stages the Lord's imprisonment so perfectly and establishes His serfdom so convincingly that even at the moment when the Perfect Master bestows His Grace on the Soul it experiences itself as breaking out through the bars of a prison which never existed. The Soul's apparent imprisonment becomes so suffocatingly unbearable that it—by the Master's Grace—literally tears itself free; and the feeling of exultation is as powerful as was its feeling of suffocation. The experience of both imprisonment and release is of Illusion; but the experience of the final Freedom is of Reality. The emancipated Soul then experiences continuously and eternally its own infinite freedom. The world exists only as long as the Soul experien...

58. Truth is of God, Law is of Illusion

                    There are two things: Truth and Law.                    Truth belongs to God, Law belongs to Illusion. Illusion is infinitely vast yet it is governed by Law. The 'law of cause and effect', which none can escape, belongs to this Law.                    Law is bondage. Truth is Freedom.                    Law upholds Ignorance. Truth upholds Reality.                   Law governs imagination which binds you to Illusion.                   Truth sets you free from Illusion. Although it is the nature of imagination to run riot, it is restricted to the definite and minutely precise pattern of bindings created and upheld by the law of bondage. The moment imagining ceases, the shackles of t...
