Hold that Thought

If you really understand who you really are, your journey ends.  By merely going on the wrong lines, chanting the mantras, etc., we are really wasting our life in the lower stage of evolution.  But for how long can you be in the same state.  We should divide our life into three stages; the first is the primary stage, then the higher secondary stage and the third, the university stage.  In the first instance you should take to the path of Karma.  Then you should get promoted to the higher level of devotion. Once you have passed these, you move on to the stage of Jnana (Universal Wisdom), the university level.  Some people wish to get to the university straightway without entering the earlier classes.  You cannot get your graduate degree like that.  Therefore, first enter into the path of Karma.  We have got a right and authority to perform action.  There is Dharma in Karma. We have got this human life to understand this secret.
