Plunge into Divinity. What good is it to say “God” over and over again? Today many people memorise the entire Bhagavad Gita. They know every verse (sloka) but they see no end to their sorrow (soka). Why? If you practise just one verse, that is enough. There are fifty matchsticks in a matchbox. But you need only one matchstick to start a fire of any size. You don’t need all fifty. Similarly, you have five human values in you – Sathya, Dharma, Shanti, Prema and Ahimsa. Practise one of them. That is enough. Prema (Love) is the basis. Speak with Love – that is Truth (Satya). Perform actions with Love – they are righteous actions (Dharma). Think with Love and you experience peace (Shanti). Inquire with Love. That will be transformed into nonviolence (Ahimsa). There is no place for hatred where Love is present. Darkness has no place where light is present. – Summer Showers, May 20, 1995
