To such an One, on His birthday, is due our homage, our reverence, and our obedience.

Amongst all the ills of human life, ignorance is the worst. It is neither dispelled by intellectual knowledge nor dissolved by performing good deeds. It is said by serving one's parents one gains heaven; surely by serving a teacher one gets learning; but ignorance, so far as the spiritual Reality is concerned, persists in intellectuals as well as in morons. It persists equally as much before and after the diverse modes of existence, one of which we call birth, another death. We rejoice in birth and weep in death, neither of which is worth the trouble. Ignorance enshrouds us in our mental and emotional makeshifts, which wean us away from Knowledge.

To permeate through our eyes, the windows of our heart, to make us feel the Soul through the cover of the body, Knowledge had to humanize itself into a multi-faceted Spirit of Love, Grace, and Beauty—the Perfect Master.

. . . "God is One, is everything, and He alone is real; whereas the universe is the outcome of nothing, is under the influence of Maya, is full of many, and so it is false. As long as "many" are seen, the One cannot be seen. The one God is seen, when this phantom of universe disappears; and this universe ceases to exist for one, when the lower self of that one is annihilated.

. . . "This is Truth, but intellect cannot grasp it, wisdom cannot weigh it, space cannot hold it, time cannot check it, cause cannot affect it, heavens cannot compass it, angels cannot fathom it, but human beings can realize it through love, the divine love, the love for the Almighty, except Whom, nothing is."
