We were talking yesterday that how there is only so much that can be held in the hand, material – which is this world, ‘*within it’, perceivable through the senses, can be seen through the eyes, heard through the ears. And there is so much that we know exists but cannot be perceived through the senses. We talked of Joy, Love, Freedom, Truth. And nobody over here would want to deny that Love and Truth exist. They do exist, right? We know very well that they exist. So, that’s about it. So, this gives us a very important lesson in living. Look at this world.* There is no need to renounce. There is no need to abdicate. There is no need to denounce either that the world is an illusion, because the world itself stems from There (Truth), rises from There. To have complains against the world is to have complains against Him, That, the source of the world. So, all due respect for the world, but there must be a clear recognition of the limits of the world. And there must be a humble appreciation of that which is beyond the world. Obviously what is beyond the world cannot be objectified. If it can be objectified it will become a part of the world. So, you can only appreciate that in Faith, not in logic, not in thought, but in the Faith that arises from meditation. Anybody who does not do both will suffer, that’s a lesson in living. If you don’t look at this world carefully, you’ll suffer and if you take a position that this world is everything then too you would suffer.
