HOW LONG MORE AS STOOPING MEN MUST YOU REMAIN, O GODS WHO OUGHT TO RISE TO SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS ?

HOW LONG MORE AS STOOPING MEN MUST YOU REMAIN, O GODS WHO OUGHT TO RISE TO SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS ?

Affirm your divinity. If necessary, be for a while an atheist to find your rational bearings. Be a heretic. Revolt against the domination of authority, hierarchical supremacy, and assert your own individuality, but never trespassing on others' like rights to express themselves. Do not have to bow down and prostrate before so-called spiritual men and sell your self-dignity thus. Bow down before the one that bows down before you. Say 'Pranam, Maharaj' to the monastic who gives you like reverence as householder God. Thus, through purity and study, through concentration and contemplation, through service and sacrifice, build your personality. Then realisation is yours, 'karaamalakavat' (even as the 'amalaki' fruit in your palm). Awake, arise and stoop not to spirituality. Rather rise to your Self-effulgence.
