Supposing the Mother Earth was very hot like the sun, there would have been no growth, or it was cold like moon, there would have been no growth.

Now you are changed people. Your personality is different. It's shining through your spirit. In that spirit, you have to see everything. All your conditionings will drop out as soon as you start identifying your Self fully, fully with the spirit. Fully - again I say because we do not. We are still Christians. We are still Hindus.

Once you are identified with the ocean, you have to throw away everything and become absolutely clean and detached.

Not by argument, not by reasoning, nor by blind faith but by actualization on your central nervous system.

Now the truth is that the Spirit is within you and you are the Spirit. You are the beauty, the bliss and the joy of that Spirit. That's what you are . Because your attention is not there, that's why you cannot feel your Spirit.

When your attention is peaceful, when we are absolutely without any thoughts, then the peace resides.
