You have come, most of you, to get from Me tinsel and trash, petty little cures and promotions, joys and comforts. Very few of you desire to get from Me the thing I have come to give, liberation itself — and even among these few, those who stick to the path of spiritual practice and succeed are a handful! Many are drawn away by outer signs of sainthood, long gown, beard, rosaries, and matted hair; they keep track of many such who move about in this land and follow them into the wilderness! It is very difficult to demarcate clearly the manifestation of the Lord, so I am announcing Myself and am Myself describing My mission, the task, characteristics, and qualities that mark out the Avatar from the rest. Do not hunger for comfort or riches; hunger for bliss! If you have faith, and keep the name of Rama as your constant companion, you are in heaven (Vaikunta or Kailas) all the time! Remember, these are not distant regions to be reached by tortuous travel; they are springs of tranquillity that are in your own heart! – Divine Discourse, Feb 04, 1963
