To have the vision of God, one should become the master, for the Master alone can have access to the treasure-chest. You have to master the senses and all other faculties. One should not be the servant of the senses, and of the whims and fancies of the emotions and passions. The servant has access only to the cheap and perishable junk of the house-hold. The treasure-chest of life, therefore, cannot be viewed by eyes blinded or befogged by egoism, greed and envy. Therefore, engage yourselves in sadhana (spiritual practice), without any delay. Cultivate virtues, free yourself from evil habits, thoughts, words and deeds. Grow in love and greet Nature with Love. This is the way to Joy, Ananda.
- Divine Discourse, July 27, 1980.
