2. SURRENDER
Message at Gulbarga
It offers me the greatest pleasure to present to you not only my simple views through words but also my very heart to help you to erect the temple of spirituality. The foundation has already been laid in the form of the Mission's branch here. Shri Raghavendra Rao, one of our most capable brethren is in-charge of it and he works as a preceptor. Now it rests upon you to provide for the necessary material required for the erection of the temple. The material does not comprise of mere theoretical knowledge of certain truths and dogmas, but of practical personal experiences only. Acceptance of things by persuasion counts no way. The merits of a thing can be rightly judged only by direct experience. Hence it is only a life of practicality that is required for the solution of the problem of life.
If you really aspire, in good faith, for the attainment of the Absolute, all that you are to do is to turn your attention that way with full sincerity of heart, linking your-self closely with One-ultimate Reality. The Divine current will readily begin to run
