you can yet build on that. By what? By the discovery of the inner consciousness which is a living force, a creative and dynamic force.
This same mantra was, at one stage, called the tantra. There is no mantra without a tantra. Here, again, if I want to go back to the meaning, what is that Tam which I have to realize as the Ultimate? That is That! Tat tvamasi - what is THAT? Realize That and take it back, and by that you cross over. Here again my Master has given the meaning of the Ultimate as Tam. The name of it is Tam - THAT. You cannot express it in any other languages. You cannot call it aham, you cannot call it tvam. It is THAT. That-if you cannot get THAT, and that is the Pranasya Prana which he offers in his Pranahuti, into every one of you, then that little flame, that little light, that little word, gets projected into you and speaks from within you. Then this God is reborn in the souls of men and conscience has a real light which will be enduring, which will be unfailing. Then you have a fearlessness, which is beyond all compare.
It is one of the great attributes of man that he is always in fear. It is the great attribute of a God that he is fearless. The Divine gives fearlessness as Rama in the Ramayana said,
"Abhayam sarvabhutebhyo dadami, etat vratam mama"
I can say that abhaya is something which I give - fearlessness - not merely security from suffering. I give you fearlessness from every element - sarvabhutebhyo-from every element, and from every creature in the universe, gods and men, plants and vipers. If one can give you that, he who can give you that must be a God, is it not? That is how we designated Rama. 'Abhayam sarvabhutebhyo dadami etat vratam mama', now he who can give that, as Plato said, walk with him unto death, unto eternity. Such a one is amongst us today. I humbly submit that here is a Personality who can give that living force into you to awaken the mantra in you, and the tantra in you. And all that you are needed to do is to surrender to that force by which your whole life may be not merely re-illuminated, but also guided in the most highly ethical sense of the term.
When Frank Buchnan, in his Moral Rearmament movement, tried to say that our society and the universal society can only be brought into a moral
