BODHAYANTI PARASPARAM
how it is not is what perhaps I would today talk about, basing on what Rev. Babuji has written.
This faith in the Goal that you can reach the goal is a recurring point. In the beginning of Reality at Dawn he talks about goal clarity and this goal can only be one. It cannot be many. We have 360 crores of Gods in Hinduism and finally when we reduce it the number comes to 3. Three seems to be quite minimum but in Upanishads, Krishna has talked about one and half Gods also. So anything other than one seems to be already in our mind. More than one seems to be accepted as the number of Gods. But one alone is the Truth. The difficulty comes because when we think about God we think about one form or one name. If you get rid of this name and form – for God, your Sadhana for realisation of one goal gets a meaning. Multiplicity of Goals is not acceptable, because that dilutes your energy, dilutes your concentration, dilutes your attention. There is absolute necessity of accepting one reality which is beyond all sensory perception. This faith in you that you can reach that stage is what you should have, the first faith.
