1. The Brahmavadins call this world, ‘All this is verily Brahman’ in their theory based on direct realization; devotees call it ‘All this is Vasudev’, materialists call it ‘Nature’, and karana-vadins call it ‘Cause’, Muktananda calls the sentient and insentient world ‘Nityananda’.
2. Even if one is a king, victorious and powerful, served by a number of attendants, having horses and elephants at his palace, if he is deprived of the ecstatic nectarine Love of Guru, he is a living corpse.
3. Even if one knows number of languages, has traveled across nations, has obtained many degrees, is famed all over, yet if he is devoid of Self-Bliss he is a pauper.
4. Just as the goal of Buddhists is Shunya (void); the goal of devotees is Love; the goal of praying persons is their Beloved Deity; the goal of yogis is Nirvikalpa Samadhi; and of seekers of Jnana is Pure Consciousness; the goal of the sadhakas is Satguru-Consciousness.

is visible in the body of a saint.
If you want to see the invisible,
See it in the visible saint.’

v Wise persons are not concerned about worldly affairs, they are always concerned about their salvation. Just the thought of attaining salvation is sufficient to make a person an ascetic, benevolent and devoted to service. All virtues spring from the desire for God realization. All vices stem form the desire for worldly thing.
v If there is no fear in your mind, no external circumstances can harm you. If the mind is filled with fear then you will perceive frightening circumstances all around you, even when there are none. Even a tree trunk world look like a ghost to you.
