Swami Papa Ramdas

 

Man's fall from the height of his spiritual glory is due to his being involved in the external, changing and unstable life. Detachment or standing apart from it is the first thing necessary to be freed from the illusion sprung from it.

 

The practice of keeping watch over the mind is a most pleasant one. This can be made easily possible when the mind is tuned to the melody of the Divine Name.

 

It is then not merely a negative inner detachment but a positive experience of supreme bliss and peace. All the latent powers of the Divine are at this stage revealed and you become an all round, manifestation of the Divine. You realize that the witness and the witnessed are one, you and God are one. The screen that separated you from Him, has dissolved, and you look upon all things with an eye of unity because you behold everywhere the forms of your one Eternal Beloved.
