P. 157

live in present, you are asked to meditate in the present and your thoughts relate to either the past or the future. If it is on the present, your meditation will be perfect because you will do your job only, you will not do anything else. So this habit of wandering of the mind has to come down, then you can see the impact how it is coming down. Over a period of time in your sadhana it will reflect.
When you come to a stage of saying that, yes, everything according to its importance has found a place in my life and you say that the goal is reached. When is the goal reached? When you see a God with four hands and thousand feet? No, Such a God doesn’t exists. God within you is simple, straight, it is love. So when it comes to it then you will see the importance of the Commandments that are there. When can you say that you have reached perfection in sadhana is reflected in Commandment No. 9, where you will see that Mould your life in such a way that you become a devotee, No, in such a way that others start thinking about God. He is one person who is living in God, by God, for God and therefore I should also become like that. You should become an example, you have got to mould your life in such a way that other people tend to think about God, they develop love towards God. This is possible only when the self is brought almost to a zero and you, the atman, has to get merged itself in brahman. You don’t exist, it is the brahman alone in action. Is that an idle situation of sitting in one corner not bothered about welfare of others? Surely not, the goal is to mould others. You have to mould in such a way that others get this. So when will you be in a position to do this? When once you know what is real and also be prepared to serve others for that. Then you can say that you have reached somewhere near divinity. From the level of man, which I told you related to Satya, Ahimsa etc., we have to move up to the level of service to others, without selfishness, with certain amount of sacrifice, that is all divinity about. Move on towards the Divinity and further on towards nothingness.
So if you have got to gauge yourself with various parameters that have been given there - To eat in a constant thought of Divine whatever is coming to you without grumbling, without feeling bad about it, whatever is given we accept it as blessing of Divine, as what God has given. Treat all people as brothers, have you been able to or not? You will be in a better position to be able to write in your diary. You can see in your dairy whether you have been able to come upto these
