to see that the most simple person is likely to give us the truth, rather than the most complicated man.
My own experience of my Master has been that he is more simple than I ever thought simplicity could be. And that is why he has endeared me more than I could myself understand. And sometimes I was really afraid whether his love was a bondage to me. Well the word 'Bandhu' is one who ties you up - a relation. Now I was thinking whether my Master is a 'bandhu' in the sense that he is binding me up. But one thing that I realized was that there are bondages which limit us, there are bondages which free us. And all bondages do not fall into the same class. Here is a personality that was out to liberate me at every step, and if I felt bondage, he was able to remove the bondage at once, just as he removed my tension.

We need this message of a peaceful, integral transformation of human nature in terms of freedom; at first realised in one'' self, afterwards in the life of the community itself, for which we lay, at the very beginning, the foundation in the quality of our Satsangh, where we train people, and we train them in freedom. So the subtle way which is practiced in this system really gives meaning to many of the rites which you have locked with you, which have become mechanical. And then we find naturalness developing in us, a divine naturalness! It is true that the highest of man may resemble the Divine, but we do not merely say that the highest of man will resemble the Divine, he CAN become Divine. The transition to Divinity is something natural to us. And we consider that it is a naturalness that comes from above rather than enforced from below. That is why I feel this marga which is
