Evolution of Love 2

Revelation of truth

An animated discussion was going on, one argument following another, without its leading to any feasible solution. Someone who was getting tired of this endless controversy said, "Mataji, there is a saying that when a lemon is squeezed too much it becomes bitter."

Mataji: When a fire is raked up it burns brighter. Similarly by discussing religion and philosophy one’s interest in these subjects grows. Of course, it is also true that a lemon becomes bitter if squeezed too much. But when an earnest seeker discusses with the sincere desire to find Truth, his eyes will be opened. Some people's confusion is cleared up by reasoning, while others only become more perplexed by discussions.
Everyone has his own way.
When one’s problems are made more acute one feels disturbed and thereby ones Search will be intensified.
Before thread can be spun and woven into cloth the pod in which the cotton was enclosed has first to be broken and entirely destroyed.
To prepare oneself really means to uproot completely the sense of "I".
So long as a trace of it is left He cannot shine forth,
the revelation of Truth cannot dawn.
