"R"
REAL HOME
A soul knocks about and faces countless births and
deaths until it recognizes and realizes it real home.
One can feel at home only in one’s real home
i.e. God.
REALITY
There is hardly any difference between God, His
Messenger and His devotee. They are but different manifestations of the same REALITY.
REAP
On enlightenment, one’s past sins are
forgiven. However, one has to be cautious in future, because then one shall have to reap
what one sows.
REDEMPTION
Without seeing (God), faith does not develop;
without faith, love does not sprout; without love, devotion does not evolve and without
devotion, redemption can not be attained.
RELIGION
True religion means seeing God in and around
everyone.
To realize and preach God, is the true religion.
RELIGIOUS
The so-called religious folk meditate, tell beads
and take holy baths, yet the greedy dog lurks in their heart.
RELIGIOUS DEEDS
If one does not behold the Lord, face to face, all
one’s religious deeds are an empty show.
RICH
One is truly rich if one possesses spiritual
wealth, which can neither be stolen nor exhausted.
RITUALS
Penances,
fasts, trances, holy dips, yogic feats, self-immolation, memorizing hymns, are all rituals
and cannot by themselves lead to God-realization and redemption.
When a student joins a college, school books are of
little use to him. Similarly, having realized God, rites and rituals are of little use.
