The Origin and The End

      If love, compassion, happiness and fulfillment had to prevail, it is essential that every person should realize the self - the Divine.

       Since it is not easy for children to realize the self, it is imperative to have idol worship at the early age. Upon maturity, one has to turn towards inner worship rather than worshipping the outer sources. That’s where inner travel practice has to start. Only then we will be able to have a mental equilibrium and be able to function at a higher level of consciousness.

       Only at this state, will our mind find peace within itself. Since the almighty itself is functioning as consciousness in living beings, it (the consciousness) expands towards its origin. It is not possible to tie it up with any other sort of enjoyment; it cannot be contained and will break the barriers. It will not satiate until it finds its origin.

       When it is unable to find its origin, it will seek more and more of what is available - it may be sensual pleasures or objects - which results in greed. Nay, when it is unable to find its origin, it acquires ego and possessiveness and seeks to enjoy unlimited sensual pleasures thereby inflicting pains on self and others and in the process invites and multiplies the complications.

      Only when it (the consciousness) finds its origin (the Divine state) will it get controlled and will attain peace and fulfillment.
