Spiritual Life is not withdrawal, but living fully
- Spiritual life is not withdrawal; it is the capacity to discover God in ordinary life and act from that discovery.
- Seva (service) is worship when offered to the Divine manifest in the needy: feeding the hungry, educating the ignorant, curing the sick become acts of worship of the same Shiva one contemplates in the temple.
- True spirituality reverses acquisitive orientation: inner peace followed by outward generosity is the sign of realized practice.
Reshape all activity in life with understanding
- The essential instruction is experiential and insistently simple: do not look for another inner object beyond the last sheath; instead take the intuitive turn to the one who watches. Recognize the divinity within, see God in everything, and let that recognition reshape (all activity) ritual, service, and everyday life.
