Glimpses of Sentiments
Honours, Status, Ambition, Parties for entertainment. Bubbling false pride, booming business and wealth. When you felt like arranging myself also you placed me at the end of circumference. Therefore, with my remembrance, devotion towards me, with rituals like 'ARATI and total surrender for billions of years you got happiness; and unhappiness was avoided. You got conveniences, inconvieniences were avoided, you got favourable environment, adverse conditions could be avoided. But I did not meet. Because, in reality you did not want to gain me. For happiness, conveniences, wealth also instead of going to worldly God- Godesses you came to me. This is also the first step of your progress. At the centrepoint myself, at the place of circumference gaining of happiness and freedom from unhappiness. This is the second step of spiritual journey = the middle way. At the centrepoint I alone. Even at the circumference none other than myself. This is the third step of the spiritual progress = Excellent way. After progressing from an ordinary stage to the middle way and keeping the goal of reaching the best, the Supreme State you devote yourself to me, you adore me, then certainly you will meet me, you will gain me. At the end, you will merge, you will stabilize. You will get melted. Myself and you will get united. Thereafter, there never will be separation between you and me.
