Even a little drop of water can support heavy ships and sustain huge iceberg when it becomes part of an ocean. Similarly, when we liberate ourselves from the limitations of phenomenal existence, and obtain oneness with the Absolute, we attain infinite freedom, power, peace, joy and perfection.
The space in the balloon can support all creation, all the stellar regions, all the worlds – it knows and has faith in the boundless space without, liberates itself from the confines of the balloon, and becomes one with the space everywhere. Even so if man can know and have faith in God, he liberates itself himself from his own human limitations and becomes one with God. Nothing, at this stage is arrived at, man can always work towards achieving what seemed impossible earlier, through devotion, faith, prayer and love for the infinite consciousness.
Everything great is within yourself. Looking at a huge stone, we can remark that therein is a lion, or a deer, or a beautiful maid, or the Greek philosopher Plato, or an Eastern sage or a Western thinker –and we can go about chiseling the stone until that which we have envisioned emerges.Infinitely more true is this of the consciousness within yourself. You can set about working on it, and produce from it a philosopher, or a sage, or a person of infinite knowledge – in short, anything you desire.
Work on yourself and fashion any type of greatness or perfection you envision. Children looking at the snow may see a little house in it, and set about making the house from the snow. Another asserts that there is a toy in it, and begins fashioning the toy.
The third one claims there is a man in it, and starts building up the snowman. Thus, each produces from the snow the image he has in his mind. All the extraordinary qualities of nature that are characteristic of the world’s greatest saints are there in you. If not great purity, but some purity is present in you. If not endless knowledge, some amount of knowledge you do possess. Though not superhuman patience, a little patience you do command. If not a great and all absorbing love for God, some love for that which you recognize as the good, or the beautiful, or truth, or God is active in you.
If all in you is not receptive to all-perfecting divine presence, there still lurks in you something which appreciates readily the things of love, light, beauty, God. Your love, when fully grown, is the saint. When the little faith in you fully flowers, it is the wonder worker. Your wisdom, when fully developed, is the sage. Love is the power of powers. Love all, at all times in all circumstances and conditions, and even in the most difficult situations. Let nothing internal and external factors, dry up the perennial springs of the silent, unobserved flow of your love for all.
Transformation of our entire inner nature, of our thoughts emotions, energies, is a wonderful way of acquiring tremendous spiritual powers. When we exceed the animal and human nature, refine, exalt and illuminate our minds and heart, will and inner spirit, we gain the fathomless power that belongs to our inner, self-luminous spiritual nature.
Constant experience of the presence of God endows us with rare powers. The power to remain unaffected by difficult circumstances
