us for most part. It is here that Pranahuti helps us. It makes us aware of how much Divinity loves us and that there is something more than just an individual existence. The love of the Divine towards us needs to be reciprocated. This can only be done when we are aware that all this is Divine's.
Love cannot have any barriers or inhibitions. It is here that we can see the openness of Rev. Dr. KCV in his letters to the Master and such an openness is what we need to have.
When such love develops in oneself, the reciprocation expresses itself in the form of doing service to the Master. It is here that true devotion starts.
What started as a flicker now burns steadily as a flame, constantly with the awareness that everything is His and we should remember Him in all the acts that we do. Devotion can be only to one person and that is the Master. There can be many acquaintances in life. But the only friend that we have is the Master, who is there always as a beloved, friend, philosopher and guide. Understanding and knowing that everything is His, we remember the Master more. Devotion helps us in stabilizing this feeling of remembrance and whatever act we do, we do as a service to the Master. Consequently, the rewards for the action are also His. When the rewards are His, naturally, the formation of impressions also cease.
Thus the statement “Whatever act you do, do it in the thought “It is the Divine's command and therefore it is my duty to do so” helps us in developing the twin attitudes of Love and Devotion which are essential to reaching our goal.
I thank you all for giving me a patient listening 554
