being in God. A temple is too mechanistic a conception for me, even just like an icon or idol. I would like it to be something more dynamic, more creative of happiness everywhere, harmony everywhere. I would like to feel life everywhere. And if necessary I would like to see even the stones dance with life of a higher order, which they can and do in the hands of a real artist.
By what force can that be done, except by the Divine force. And they have stated that to bring down the Divine force all the Bhagirathas' prayatna must be necessary. All of you have heard that story, I am sure, of Bhagiratha getting the heavenly Ganges after a large number of years of tapas and penance and all that.

'Ekam Sat Viprah bahuda vadanti' - the Vipras, you know, are philosophers! Very learned people whose dictionaries are full of multiple names for the same thing. So much so that translations are egregiously mistaken. So this is how people have been very pompously learned, without the simplicity that comes from the heart and flows into Reality. Who is the greatest illusion maker in this world except a man who dabbles with words?
Now we are in touch with Reality. Even this evening one of my friends petitioned my Master to give a speech. He said, 'well, I have given it to the
