| Seeking the Truth |
| "We all know the words are not enough! One cannot cure a headache by reading the words on the aspiring bottle, we have to experience 'the aspirin' to gain relief. Similarly, one cannot achieve enlightenment, self realisation, moksha, liberation, second birth by reading the words in the spiritual books, one has to have the experience of it to gain the relief sought. In seeking out those eternal life renewing truths, what counts in not words, but actual experience." (from "The Divine Mother" as well as extracts from previous pages on Kundalini) |
