In these great Teachers you will always find

this sign: that they have intense faith in

themselves. Such intense faith is unique, and

we cannot understand it. We do not think

of ourselves in the same way, and, naturally,

we cannot understand them.

Then again, when they speak, the

world is bound to listen. When they speak,

each word is direct; it bursts like a bomb-

shell. Sometimes they do not speak at all,

but yet they convey the Truth from mind

to mind. They come to give. They com-

mand, they are the Messengers; you have to

receive the Command. Do you not remem-

ber in your own scriptures the authority

with which Jesus speaks? Go ye, therefore,

and teach all nations teaching them to ob-

serve all things whatsoever.So, when each man stands and says

My Prophet is the only true Prophet, he

is not correcthe knows not the alpha of

religion. Religion is neither talk, nor theory,

nor intellectual consent. It is realisation in

the heart of our hearts; it is touching God;

it is feeling, realising that I am a spirit in

relation with the Universal Spirit and all

Its great manifestations. If you have really

entered the house of the Father, how can

you have seen His children and not known

them? And if you do not recognise them,

you have not entered the house of the

Father.

THE ROAD TO WISDOM

These great Messengers and Prophets

are great and true. Why? Because, each one

has come to preach a great idea. Take the

Prophets of India, for instance. They are the

oldest of the founders of religion. We take,

first, Krishna. You who have read the Gita

see all through the book that the one idea

is non-attachment. Remain unattached. The

hearts love is due to only One. To whom?

To Him who never changeth. Who is that

One? It is God. Do not make the mistake of

giving the heart to anything that is chang-

ing, because that is misery. You may give

it to a man; but if he dies, misery is theresult. You may give it to a friend, but he

may tomorrow become your enemy. If

you give it to your husband, he may one

day quarrel with you. You may give it to

your wife, and she may die the day after

tomorrow. Now, this is the way the world

is going on.. This is what our scriptures say.

Wherever there is love, wherever there is

a spark of joy, know that to be a spark of

His presence because He is joy, blessedness,

and love itself. Without that there cannot

be any love.

Vivekananda, 4.120-134.
