“”In the motion picture industry, you should also introduce spiritual truths, but do so gradually. This is the need of the time. If you become successful in it, it will be profitable to you in both ways, materially and spiritually. However, while directing or producing such films keep in mind that, except God, everything is illusion. Then the work will not bind you, and the heart will become more and more pure to reveal God's treasure.
One Persian couplet states the following:
God the Beloved says to the lover:
Vacate your abode of its millions of strangers;
Then only, will I enter. I feel shy of strangers!
And who are the strangers? Wants, desires, thoughts! They are all so compressed within you that they leave no room for God the Beloved, whom you would invite in.
As the strangers begin to leave the heart, it becomes cleaner and purer. Then God peeks into it, and His all-loving glance wipes out all worries. And the glimpse of God that one experiences leaves no scope for any doubts about His sweet will that manifests through "good" and "bad" times.
The God-realized Soul lives in the world, but the world does not and cannot touch him. But to achieve God-realization is not child's play. For this, one has to surrender all — body, mind and heart — to the Perfect Master.
At this point, Kashyap quoted some lines referring to the intense longing for union with God. Baba liked them and remarked:
“”It is a nice quotation, but how does one create such longing in his heart? That is the difficulty. One must feel from the core of one's heart that it is impossible for him to live without seeing God. His condition should be like that of a fish taken out of water. When such longing continues, one has the fortune to see God — the Ocean of Effulgence.
The intensity of longing necessary for one to become one with God can never be measured, howsoever high the gross standard. Such longing is a rare experience, altogether unique, and it is exclusively for one who is ablaze with the spark of divine love from the Perfect Master.
I am pleased with you. You can contribute much toward making good films by introducing spiritual truths to the public. But be honest. Let not hypocrisy creep into your dealings. Try to respond honestly to the dictates of your conscience. I am with you; I am within you. But you should take me with you. My blessings.
