The Unity of Paths to God's Light

His grace has blessed all of us so much and I really, I look at all of you and I feel like all of you are so much more devoted, dedicated, sincere in your sadhana. It is just God's grace that He's put me on this chair for some reason. So I feel the point she was making is that the surrender, whether it is to God or Guru, brings us to the same place where Atma Darshan is possible. Out which points to the inner Guru. Just a signboard on the road. A signboard with you see, and that is—I'm not talking about this foolish man. I'm saying that God has designed it this way so that once you start to taste this fragrance on the outside, then you recognize it on the inside also.

And you know, in spite of all the mind attacks and all the things that happen in our lives, when we focus on God, we know that if we keep following that light, that fragrance, we will end up with the true Satguru presence. So I wouldn't say just a signboard, like a signboard with a little bit of a photograph, but never to be taken as a replacement for the real thing. Okay, let's end Satsang today with this question: that every pathway, so many different religions, each religion has thousands of pathways also, are so different in their method and modality. If their destination was not the same, you see, then could God have been the same?

So know that the way to His light is through your spiritual heart, your spiritual center within. And live from there. Love from there. Follow the will of that which will guide you from within. And don't make any distinctions in your brothers and sisters based on the path they are following. So never get into this—and I'm saying from my own experience—I was very much in that idea that Advaita is the best or Bhakti is the best or this is the best or that is the best. The steps you take to enter the sanctum sanctorum are just steps. The sanctum sanctorum is what is important for you to stay. So coming back to walking the steps is auspicious. It's very important because it takes us away from the direction of Maya. It's very good. But we have to spend some time in the sanctum sanctorum as well.
