Maharaj: It is the intensity of the faith you have in the
guru's words that is most important; once that is there, the grace flows
automatically. The faith in the guru is based on the consciousness within,
faith in one's Self. The love for the beingness I am trying to direct to a
higher level. What is lasting is this love for the Self, on which temples have
been built. This Christ consciousness is existing; is it faith in a man? As a
man, Christ was crucified, but that universal consciousness which was his lives
today.
Q: Is there a means of releasing or elevating this love?
M: That is a vritti (mental modification), that is part of
the process. There are various actions, practices, etc. Even in daily life you
have certain procedures; are they not the puja (worship) for this
consciousness?
Q. Maharaj is talking about the kind of love that transcends
consciousness itself?
M: The breeze that comes out of the universal consciousness
is what keeps other kinds of love alive. Most people limit their love to an
individual.
Q How does one expand into universal love?
M: Understand the false as false, that's all you can
do; you cannot turn one thing into another.
