In our country, the Spiritual Man is lost to the society as well as life. He never runs a family or even an organisation. In such rare cases such as Swami Vivekananda founding an organisation or Mahesh Yogi, we see the extraordinary efficiency they enjoy. Their Spirit emerges in action and determines the course of their actions. Obviously, the results here are far greater than the one who uses his Mind or Vital.

We know too well the frontier between Man and life or Man and Nature and the million conquests he has made over the centuries and is still making with every passing day.

The proverb 'Man proposes and God disposes' can as well be rewritten as 'Man proposes and Life disposes', especially when Man tries to cross the limits set to him by Life.

One who arranges for a function like a wedding may have many things at his command especially in our modern days, but will be utterly helpless against a bundh or a cyclone. One is the handiwork of man and the other is the mischievous pleasure of Nature. On such occasions, Man is humbled and is shown the limits within which he can function.

Life is larger than social life. Human life exceeds social life in dimension. Life is far wider in its scope than either social life or human life. Nature outstrips life. Existence on earth is not confined to Nature. It consists of many other worlds such as the subtle world of spirits that leave the bodies of the dead, occult worlds invisible to the naked eye and sometimes even to mental perception. Beyond lie the causal worlds proper to the Spirit. In the widest sense, Man's life is mental.

One man's service in restoring eyesight to millions has grown into a big institution and may become a movement in South India. The wonders of modern medicine are inconceivable. Back in the 1930's, losing one's sight was considered to be one's karma and was silently suffered. People would be ashamed of speaking out their diseases, as it revealed their own heinous crimes in past lives! It is no longer so.

An ill-mannered, offensive person was in an important post in an esteemed organisation. One of the several truths on which that organisation is founded is the outer perfectly reflects the inner. A visitor to that place took to this particular principle very seriously. When he encountered the offensive executive, his response of disgust was very great. By a supreme inner effort, he decided that he should please this person, as only that would create pleasantness inside. He was doing it for some time as a discipline, which his nerves found to be too much.

A disease arises through the disorder of an organ or by a physiological imbalance. The natural method of cure will be to set right the disorder or restore the lost balance. There are other methods, though partial and temporary, to achieve the same results. A person of mediocre abilities is often selected on the basis of excellent social skills of fine manners, or even fluency in good English. This is one example in public life.

"I have loved since my birth but no one has loved me", is the complaint of a sore heart.

"I loved him genuinely for a long time, sought nothing but love in its purity. It is a pity he only loved my jewels and pretty face" is the voice of a wounded heart that is too pure to live on our muddy earth.

What we know as luck is the submerged Spirit surfacing. If luck is Poorvajanma punya unseen, Spirit is its power that we can now call. I have once listed arguments relating to luck and appropriate illustrations that number around 100 whose summary I wished to present here.

Those who have FAITH often witness that it works sometimes but not always. When their faith is pure and total, it works, but when they rely on other factors too, it fails. By shifting their reliance from a method or a medium, faith becomes full and victorious. There are others who have no faith. Perseverance, says Mother, generates faith. They must repeatedly try until faith is created.
