THEN COMES THE TIME FOR ACTION
Do you know my attitude? Books and things like
that only point out the way to reach God. After
finding the way, what more need is there of books
and scriptures? Then comes the time for action.
A man received a letter from home informing him
that certain presents were to be sent to his
relatives. The names of the articles were given in
the letter. As he was about to go shopping for
them, he found that the letter was missing. He
began anxiously to search for it, several others
joining in the search. When at last the letter was
discovered, his joy knew no bounds. With great
eagerness he opened the letter and read it. It said
that he was to buy five seers of sweets, a piece ,of
cloth, and a few other things. Then he did not need
the letter any more, for it had served its purpose.
Putting it aside, he went out to buy the things.
How long is such a letter necessary? As long as its
contents are not known. When the contents are
known one proceeds to carry out the directions.
In the scriptures you will find the way to realise
God. But after getting all the information about the
path, you must begin to work. Only then can you
attain your goal.

FAITH AND STRENGTH
Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is greatest hearsay to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin - to say that you are weak, or others are weak
