What is the idea of God in heaven? Materialism. The Vedantic idea is the infinite principle of God embodied in every one of us. God sitting up on a cloud! Think of the utter blasphemy of it! It is materialism - downright materialism. When babies think this way, it may be all right, but when grown - up men try to teach such things, it is downright disgusting - that is what it is. It is all matter, all body idea, the gross idea, the sense idea. Every bit of it is clay and nothing but clay. Is that religion?

Please everyone without becoming a hypocrite or a coward.

Every step I take in light is mine forever.

Everything, both mental and physical, is rigidly bound by the law of causation.

Everything that you do under compulsion goes to build up attachment.

The whole point is to discipline the mind.

The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves.
