What category of an individual do we belong to? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today so that we may introspect and improve ourselves, today and every day.

When I see the long lines of people going to church every Sunday, I am glad; but, when I find you talking apologetically of your visits to temples and sages, I dislike it. Why not assert that you had been to a temple or sage, boldly, with heads erect? Why yield to worry and misery, claiming all the time that you are a believer in God? When a bus is speeding along, a cloud of dust follows it; when it halts, the passengers get the dust all over. But, how far can you travel without bringing the bus to a halt? The one consolation is: you need not always speed along the mud road; better roads are in store. The mud road is the Samithi Road (managed by the village Panchayat); the metalled road, which comes later, is the Zilla Parishad Road; at last, you get on into the asphalt road, the road of the Highways Department, where the bus will not drag behind it any cloud of dust. The mud road is the karma marga (road of activity), the metalled road is upasana marga (road of worship and contemplation), and the asphalt road is jnana marga (road of divine knowledge and wisdom). Join the jnana marga soon; then, there will be no dust. In spiritual matters, faith is the basic requisite for progress. That faith has to be guarded carefully. Yield to the Lord, who is more kin to you than your own parents; yield to no other. Do not allow your faith to falter with every passing gust of wind.
