Indians trying to adopt punctuality find it extremely powerful and useful. Some miserably fail to institute punctuality as a value in their company. They ask how to be punctual? It does not mean they do not know it. It only means they are unable to do so as the general atmosphere in the company is not conducive to punctuality. What then is the remedy? The usual answer is to go about it with a greater determination in which again many fail.

For the past hundred years or more, the courts of justice have been rendering legal justice to the public. Since its advent, the public, who was at the disposal of the local council of elders, now enjoys legal justice. It is a great boon. Legal justice is based upon evidence presented to the court. Whether one's claim is just or not, the court is helpless if the required evidence is not brought to its notice. Hence, justice suffers an abridgement. It becomes legal justice, meaning as much justice as law can offer within the limitations.

Dreams take away a good deal of energy. Sleeping without dreams is restful. Dreams of the subconscious are a horror, those of the subliminal indicate the future. Such dreams go on building on each previous dream. Dreams are in the subtle planes sometimes covering very long periods in very short moments. Tradition says early morning dreams come true. One type of dream, according to Hindu tradition, indicates the very opposite of it.

Some one in Bihar in active services was on an official tour. As part of his work he collected Rs. 7 lakhs of money and was travelling in the train. It was usual for him to carry several lakhs of money with him on his tours. Being in the active services and by nature a courageous person, he never had vibrations of fear emanating from his solar plexus.

We in India know of cyclones which occasionally touch the highest speed of 120 m.p.h. or even 150 m.p.h. We have no experience of the hurricane that rises to speeds of 300 m.p.h., or more. Several parts of USA are prone to hurricanes. They are so powerful, though lasting only two or three minutes, that cars fly in the air and railway carriages are pushed off the railroad tracks to 100 or 200 yards away. Sometimes they are lifted into the air. 

Mind is powerful, very powerful when we concentrate there. Heart is more powerful than the mind. Spirit is far more powerful. When we concentrate we see the concentration collecting in the mind or heart. It is clearly felt. Rarely do we concentrate on the Spirit. Its centre lies behind the heart as well as above the head. Sahasradala lies above the head. The Vedas were written from a centre above the Sahasradala. Shakespeare wrote from above the mind but below the Sahasradala.

When man discovered the institution of credit, he emerged from the narrow physical insular shell of selfishness into playing a role in another's life. Today's modern world of civilised economy stands on the firm shoulders of credit.  Credit has done to the world the same service education has done. Credit in the giver becomes debt in the receiver. Man has a genius of making a fetter out of every fine instrument he has fashioned for himself.

In subtle vision, opinions appear like needles. In the atmosphere, millions of such needles exist presiding over man's daily life, says the Divine Mother. If you ever tried to acquire open-mindedness and tried to shake off a preconceived notion, which is an opinion, you will appreciate the difficulty of getting rid of an opinion. After all your efforts, you will see that the opinion prevails. It would have implemented itself.

'One's outer life is a true reflection of his inner life' is an age-old truism spoken of by all ancient traditions.  Sangam literature says, "Neither Good or Bad will come from outside." If one desires to be ruled by the Spirit, this rule is important for him.

A boy of 20 was faced with the closure of his 110 year old shop in 1974. In any field, to introduce a new line, especially one of inferior quality, is no easy job. Salesmen of such a product who could not enter a certain market for years now came to this boy's shop with ornamental glass tumblers, clinking them in chorus as gifts. The boy's father was taken in and he wrote an order for an equivalent of fifty day's sale value of the shop. Six months passed and not a bit of the stock could be sold. It caused his shop to close.
