1.1.2 inspirational

This morning I will speak on the topic of Spiritual Life. Within this world, there are so many forces, so many influences, which come from many different directions. A Sadhaka may be influenced not only by personal sanskara, personal reactive momenta of the unit mind, but a Sadhaka may also be influenced by the collective Sanskara within the society. So do not assume that all that you experience is due to the influence of personal desires or ill deeds of the past. You are also a part of a collective situation in which there is the influence of the Sanskaras of many people. So collectively you are experiencing both the reactions of your past deeds and those of others. Do you see? It is a vast interwoven play of so many influences. So you cannot say,'I am responsible alone'. You must say instead, 'I am a part of a vast network of living beings in which I have taken birth to live and experience this world with all its influences, characteristics, and unique experiences. But what I do with this life of mine, that is the test.' Like this you must think.

No being is an island divided and alone. Every living being is a part and parcel of the network of living entities who have manifested due to the grace of the Supreme Purusha. Every living being is united not physically, but in the subtle psychic arena, with every other being. Within this vast network, this interplay of psychic momenta, there is the expression of consciousness in the physical stratum, in the psychic stratum and in the spiritual stratum. So the Supreme Purusha finds expression in the interwoven manifestation of multiple individual expressions. None of you are alone or isolated. Each is a part of His vast dance of creation. Each is interwoven not only spiritually, but also in the psychic stratum. Individuality is only a guise which you have grown to believe is real. But it is a deception of the mind.

Now, awake, arise, recognize your true status. Do not deceive yourself into thinking you are alone or separate. Shed the blinders, become what you truly already are and let no one tell you that you are less. Oh children of God, I will not say you cannot feel or experience sensations and perceptions which are contrary to this but do not believe these molmentary experiences. Stay ever aware of your divinity and of your interwoven experience with all expressions in this manifest world. Go and be happy.
