Sneha-vigraheṣu (“personified object of my affection”),
 
I received your letter dated the 13th. You have invoked a conceptional whirlpool of apparent contradiction in regards to guru-tattva.
 
The destructible world is manifest from Bhagavān’s external potency (bahiraṅga-śakti), wherein the three modes are active. And the eternal realm is manifest from His internal potency (cit-śakti). There, the three śaktis – hlādinī, sandhinī and samvit 1 – are ac

We Are Absolute Infinitesimals – Part One

Part One

We should have firm faith in the Divinity. We are absolute infinitesimals, and we require association with the Absolute. If we express diffidence in doing so, we are likely to be entangled with the ephemeral matters of this world. Our friends stay with us for a few days only. At any moment, when death calls them, they will have to leave us. All that we do should tend towards association with the Divinity. We should not undertake any work for our temporary purposes. 

We are His dependents, and as we are infinitesimals, we require to have our final place in Him. We should carry out all of our activities for His purpose only. We should not think that we have anything else to do. Rather than behaving like ordinary people, we should take up the method of exclusively tending to Him,  serving Him with everythi

It is not necessary for Divinity to end the worldly sojourn of the conditioned soul to deliver him. That would be opposed to the purpose of divine descent.

Their mistake, however, can be rectified if they observe, with true humility, the activities of a real devotee. It cannot be corrected by any other method. The Supreme Lord chooses to manifest His appearanc

We Are Absolute Infinitesimals – Part Two

“Our inner impulse should be to have access to that region where all objects offer us the special opportunity of having association with the Absolute.”
 

Part Two

Most people are at a loss to understand what they should do and what they are meant for. They only see the superficial side of things. The external side of things is quite deluding. As intelligent men, we should be very careful. We must penetrate into everything properly. Our view should not be obstructed by the morphological* representation of things, nor by th
