Sense of Doer-ship

Hari Om,
Sense of Doer-ship
Why should you bear your load on the head when you are travelling in a train?
It carries you and your load whether the load is on your head, or on the floor of the train. You are not lessening the burden of the train by keeping it on your head, but only straining yourself unnecessarily.
Similar is the result of your sense of doer-ship in the world.

  “It may be that I shall find it good to get outside of my body – to cast it off like a disused garment.

But I shall not cease to work! I shall inspire men everywhere, until the world shall know that it is one with God.”

“My ideal, indeed, can be put into a few words, and that is to preach unto mankind their divinity,

and how to make it manifest in every moment of life.


Religion is the manifestation of the divinity already present in man.

Religion is the idea which is raising the brute unto man, and man unto God.


The secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice.

To be good and do good - that is the whole of religion.


Man is higher than all animals, than all angels; none is greater than man.

 
“Men, men, these are wanted; everything else will be ready, but strong, vigorous, believing young men, sincere to the backbone are wanted.

 

“My faith is in the younger generation, the modern generation, out of them will come my workers. They will work out the whole problem like lions.


“Numbers do not count, nor does wealth or poverty, a handful of men can throw the world off its hinges, provided they are united in thought, word and deed.”

 

Before flooding India with socialistic or political ideas, first deluge the land with spiritual ideas.


After so much austerity, I have understood this as the real truth - God is present in every jiva; there is no other God besides that.

Who serves jiva, serves God indeed.


Mankind ought to be taught that religions are but the varied expressions of THE RELIGION, which is Oneness, so that each may choose the path that suits him best.
