THE VOICE OF A SELF-REALISED SAGE

Swami Sivananda

There is no paper on which to write the Nature of Truth. There is no
pen which can dare write It. There is no person living who can express
It. It merely is everything that is, and there ends the matter. Every
effort to express Its nature is trying to kill its reality. Thou art
that Great Being! Thou art this, thou art that! Thy glory knows no
bounds. Thy power is indestructible. Thou art the most blessed, the
Immortal, the Real. Realise thy real Nature through discrimination,
dispassion and sacrifice of things earth-earthy.

When such
guru-bhakti
is there towards the
guru
, such obedience, such great desire to carry
out his behest, biddings and teachings, then illumination
automatically descends from the
guru
to
the disciple. The illumination in which the
guru
is established comes like a spark flying from one
end of an exposed wire to another. For when the weeping old disciple
was taken by the
guruís
wife
to the
guru
and explained why he was weeping, the
guru
replied: ìWhat! What do you mean, you
have no illumination!î Immediately, the disciple became illumined.
Why? Because of his total
self-effacement, total dedication, his unquestioning carrying out of
the behest of the
guru
, because
of the exemplary type of devotion that filled his heart: ìI have come to a
guru
. I must serve him.
This is my greatest good fortune.î

Forces which constitute the universe react and interact among one
another for effecting a higher integration - we may call them men and
things, and so on in a state of ignorance. These activities of forces
are the history of the universe.
