It is only when you rise above all these ideas of good and bad and recognize, see, and feel flowers and filth alike, and find God equally in all, that you could be said to have known and learned something real. Otherwise, it is all parrot-like, a false conception, an illusion.
Besides, taking it for granted that the best and most ideal abode for God to dwell in the human body is the heart, it must be remembered clearly that even in this best abode dedicated by human beings for God to dwell, He who is the Purest of the Pure would not come in unless that abode of the heart, however spontaneously and lovingly offered, is absolutely clean, empty and devoid of any foreign element. The slightest defilement and obstruction in the form of impurities of mind or body prevents Him from entering! Therefore, those who truly want God to dwell in their hearts must have them utterly clean and empty, devoid of selfish desires, lust, anger, greed, hatred — empty of all desires either good or bad.
To say that God is in the soul is again incomplete, vague and high sounding, unless and until it is actually experienced. Vishnu tells others that Baba is God. He says it wholeheartedly and with depth of feeling; but when I myself ask him, "Where is God?" he points to the soul!
This is all philosophy, dry and of little use. Vedanta is full of it. The pundits everywhere babble it to the orthodox sections of each community, who tenaciously cling to their pet beliefs and do not want to go beyond the four walls of rites and rituals. The pundits die babbling, without the slightest clue about the real meaning of their words. And the masses are so misled by their blind faith in the clergy that they refuse even to talk or listen to the facts from ones who have actual Experience, and consider it blasphemy even to think of it. They are only interested in philosophical talks and learned discourses and are quite satisfied with them. That is why I say it is all pure humbug without Experience. It is all dry philosophy and of no use. One must try not only to learn and know, but to feel and experience.
[Wankadia again stated, "It is an eternal struggle to realize God!"]
This is true. But this does not mean one should sit idle and not try!
