selves. That is why that power is being used for the destruction of humanity and all over the world people are afraid of the consequences. Had we known ourselves first, all these scientific Inventions would have gone the other way to help and ameliorate humanity."
You will find that the main object of the World Religions Conference that was put hefore us was just to join the army of God. You may remain where you are in the different social religions. Their outer forms may be different yet in soul they are one. When you rise above the body, what you are? What is your form? This is a practical question. Unless we come into contact with that Reality, we cannot be true lovers of God. There was a discussion before I came here, how can we create the love of God? Of course all the scriptures say we should love God, but how can we love God? The man who has not seen Him how can he love Him? How can we love the reality we have never witnessed? I have not seen you. I have only heard of you or read about you in a paper. How can I develop love for you? Love is just the spontaneous outcome when you come into contact with something and enjoy some bliss or peace as a result of that contact. True love arises in this way. Or there is yet another way. It may be caught as an infection from some God-intoxicated person.
So to attain this God-life, what have we to do? We have to observe the life of Dharma or the life of Righteousness. That is a stepping stone for spirituality or life spiritual. What I may mention here for your consideration is that we we should study spirituality as a science, just as medical or any other science we learn. All men belonging to different religions can learn that, of course for that some basic qualification is required. One must possess an F. Sc. or B. Sc. degree to get entrance in the medical college. Any one, A,B,C, or D who has got that qualification can join the medical college and learn at the feet-of whom? He may be anybody, A,B,C or D whoever is an expert in that science, and while reading and practising medicine after passing out and getting certificate of a Doctor too he (the student) still remains in his own social circle.
This difficulty is not a new one nor has it arisen now for the first time. It has been there all along since history began I should say. A question was put to Christ. He was asked, "Caesar wants tribute. What to do?" They wanted to entangle him somehow or other. He said, "All right. Bring me a coin please." They brought the coin and that coin bore the inscription of the king. And he said, "Give unto caesar things that be caesar's. Your Souls are of God, those should be given to God." One is of course to remain in some social body the label of which he is carrying. To live in some social circle is a blessing, I should say. If you leave it that would result in corruption. But you, while living in some social circle
