The Golden Veil

An Intimate Note To The Sincere Seeker

108. The Golden Veil

Craving comes from encouraging the thought of pleasure. 

Whether you encourage a mundane thought or a Divine thought, they both bring you pleasure. Worldly thoughts lead you from pleasure down to indulgence, disappointment and dejection. Divine thoughts take you free from pleasure up to bliss, intelligence, and commitment to service. 

A worldly thought brings pleasure as memory, yet the actual experience of that pleasure may not be as great as the memory. A Divine thought brings in the transformation of consciousness. 

*Question:* What is a Divine thought?

*Gurudev:* I am not the body, I am bliss, satchitananda; I am unbounded space, I am love, I am peace, I am light.  

*Question:* What is a worldly thought?

*Gurudev:* It is a thought about money, sex, food, power, status and self-image. 

Truth is hidden by the golden veil of the mundane. Pierce through this glittering sheath and know you are the Sun. 

In the world, many are after GOLD, some are after GOOD; only a few are after GOD. 

Transcend GOLD, transcend the GOOD, and reach GOD.
