Most of us live in such a way that we are not aware why we are living, where we are going and why.

< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 2 Matter and God are One 3 May 1970 am in The universe is an expansion of energy, and life is the crystallization of it. What we see as matter, what we see as stone, is also energy. What is seen as life, what is experienced as thought, what is felt like consciousness is also a trans formation of energy. The whole cosmos – whether it is the waves of the sea or the pine trees of the forest or the grains of sand or the stars in the skies or that which is within us – all are manifestations of the same energy in infinite forms and ways....

Keep a little distance from one an other so that those of you who want to lie down may do so comfortably. No one will talk, there will be no chit chatting at all.

From tomorrow, mornings will be devoted to meditation alone and evenings to discourses exclusively. But this day we will follow the day’s schedule. Take your seats apart, keeping a distance from one another. But do not go far, because this morning I noticed that friends who had moved far were deprived of the benefits of the psychic atmosphere that is being created here....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 6 God’s Grace and Our Efforts 4 May 1970 pm in Question 1 FRIEND ASKS: DOES ONE ATTAIN TO MEDITATION THROUGH GOD’S GRACE? It will be useful to understand this thing, because it has led to lots of misunderstandings and mistakes.
