Vol.1 Part 2 - Other Themes: Education in Human Values

What is life? It is a manifestation of God in different forms. Life is life in any form, all a part of God and divinity. Life is at many levels of consciousness and man on earth can reach the highest level. But this is only possible after a long struggle during which man learns to master the senses. So long as man is ruled by his senses, he cannot move very far along the spiritual path because this whole mind revolves round himself and this will simply lead him nowhere or, at best, round in circles.
Man must break out of this circle and move forward. But this is possible only after he decides to make a great effort to break the ties that bind him so firmly to the material way of life, where his senses always hold sway. So it is partly a question of educating himself, for until he learns the truth, he is unlikely to make much effort to change.
This is where educaton in human values begins, TRUTH. Once you learn the truth and begin to live the truth, you are on the right path. Where does truth lead you? It leads to the ultimate realisation that all is God and there is only God, and that you are part of the whole which is God.
As the truth unfolds, so your attitude will change and you will begin to change your way of life towards right living of righteousness. You will begin to treat everyone else as they really are, part of the whole, all divine, all God. You will begin to love them and by loving them learn to love yourself for until you love yourself, you cannot escape from insecurity and the disturbed mind which accompanies this negative state.
Love will begin to blossom and peace will follow, peace of mind leading to tranquillity when you can experience the true feeling that you and God are one. Life thereafter will be totally different for it becomes a spiritual life instead of a material one. All is love, all is God, all is peace and all is divine.
There is only one path, the path that leads back to God. The signposts are there, if only you open your eyes. It is the only way ahead.
