 pray? Our desires and needs are endless. You see the impossibility of this? We have nothing to do with these gods. They are only officers.
Then came the avatars, ten or twenty-four of them. Which of these shall I worship? There are personal favourites. One likes one, another likes another and so on. Then there are geographical loyalties. In Mathura Sri Krishna, in Ayodhya it is Sri Rama. This is the way our people have worshipped their gods. As the occasion, so the god! This is where we are. So no avatar. On the path of yoga, no avatar.
Then the Antaryami. Each one has an antaryami. Please note. Mysticism is in loneliness. You must develop the consciousness of living alone with your God-your Antaryamin. So it is only the antaryamin to whom you must turn. You have only two Gods, as a matter of act, the antaryamin within you and the one above! "Agreravamaha Vishnor Paramaha!" as the Aitreya Brahmana states.
The inner connects you to the Higher. This way is open to everybody. Nobody can be denied this. And the only way to discover the Antaryamin is to practice truth. The simplicity of this method is that a sympathetic love can arouse the God within you. You will be able to get yourself put in contact with God.
I only pray that our wisdom will enable us to cut across all those oblique things. We have to practice. Once we are able to develop this instrument of knowing God by God, through God, then as Spinoza said "Sub Specie Eternitatu!" you will see everything by insight, not by biological processes of perception.
Philosophy means the love of wisdom. But it fell on evil days. So you see, we have something to do. I pray that in this sacred place, His sacred Grace will produce men of the highest levels of spirituality for the good of humanity.
