"E"
EGO: EVIL
Ego breeds ignorance and evil.
EGO: SUBTLE MALADY
A devotee is likely to turn egoist because of the service he renders. Egoism is,
indeed, a subtle malady that may strike him unconsciously.
EGOIST: BLISSLESS
An egoist can never experience spiritual bliss.
EGOIST: SHUNNED
Because of its lethal venom, a snake is invariably shunned. So is an egoist,
because of the venom of egoism.
EGOIST: UNGODLY
If you consider yourself superior, it is a sheer projection of your ego. An
egoist has no place in the Kingdom of God.
ENDURING REVERENCE
We daily notice the people showering praises on a person one day and condemning
him the next day. However, in the spiritual realm, reverence endures. Even if a devotee
strays from the path, earnest endeavour are made to ‘retrieve’ him.
ENLIGHTENED
Only the ignorant draw comparison among the holy personages, holding one above
the other. The enlightened, however, equally revere all.
ENLIGHTENED AND
IGNORANT
One, who has actually visited a place, can truly describe it. Others can give
only imaginary and extraneous version. This is also the difference between an enlightened
and an ignorant soul.
ENLIGHTENMENT
As an electric bulb even of 1,000 watts cannot emit light unless it is connected
with the mains, only the one, who is illumined by the Divine Light, can bestow
Enlightenment.
EQUALITY
None is inferior or superior. Every individual is a limb of the human society,
having his own role.
EXALTATION
A grass-cutter, who incidentally become a king, would daily take a look at his
old implements lest he should become oblivious of his original status. Likewise, a
devotee, conscious of his insignificance, always praises God for his exaltation.
EXPERIENCE
It is one’s own experience, which one can relate with authority and
authenticity.
EXTRANEOUS FACTORS
One, who adopts only the diet, dress, etc. of a holy personage, is like the one,
who counts the leaves and branches of a tree, instead of eating its fruit.
EVOLVED
A truly evolved person is one, who is enlightened within and without.
EVOLVEMENT
An actor, who acts as per the directions of the director, evolves and achieves
perfection. This is also true of a devotee, who abides by and imbibes the teachings of the
True Master.
