By mere force of intention, one can imagine in an instant, a scene in
America. However, can it also be experienced in actual, at
that very instant? No, you cannot! There is no use
imagining and framing fancily. It must be experienced in
mind, word and body. Similarly genuine peace cannot be
obtained by merely knowing and learning about Divine Self. You
may even firmly believe that Joy is present in these, but that is of
no avail. You must dedicate your life to win that joy and
experience it and enter upon the discipline needed to acquire it.
Only then do you deserve the Grace of the Lord and from that, you
receive eternal love and peace.
- Divine Discourse,
Prasanthi Vahini.
