The
Seven Realities |
|
|
1.
|
The
only Real Existence is that of the One and only GOD who is the Self
in every (finite) self.
|
|
2.
|
The only Real Love is the love for this Infinity (GOD), which arouses
an intense longing to see, know and become one with its Truth (GOD).
|
|
3.
|
The
only Real Sacrifice is that in which, in pursuance of this love, all
things, body, mind , position , welfare , and even life itself, are
sacrificed.
|
|
4.
|
The
only Real Renunciation is that which abandons, even in the midst of
worldly duties, all selfish thoughts and desires.
|
|
5.
|
The
only Real Knowledge is the knowledge is that GOD is the inner dweller
in good people and so-called bad, in saints and in so-called sinner.
This knowledge requires you to help all equally as circumstances demand,
without expectation of reward and, when compelled to take part in a
dispute, to act without the slightest trace of enmity or hatred; to
try to make others happy with brotherly or sisterly feelings for
each one; to harm no one in though, word or deed, not even those who
harm you.
|
|
6.
|
The
only Real Control is the discipline of the senses from indulgence in
low desires, which alone ensures absolute purity of character.
|
|
7.
|
The only Real Surrender is that in which poise is undisturbed by any
adverse circumstances and the individual, amidst every kind of hardship
,is resigned with perfect calm to the Will of God.
