self-luminous inner light of the Self is ever shining steadily in the
chamber of your heart. Sit quietly. Close your eyes. Withdraw the
senses. Fix the mind on this supreme light and enjoy the real

<p class="MsoNormal">"......Let us purify our heart, and that
purified
heart will know the sublime <i>bhav </i>of devotion and love. And it
is through such <i>bhav </i>that whatever we do, no matter how
imperfect it may be, will become acceptable to the Lord as though it
were perfect. <i>Bhav</i>,<i> </i>feeling of the heart, that is the
one way of drawing down His
grace. Think about it and cultivate it with diligence. Pray for it.
Devotion, compassion, meditation, combined with <i>bhav</i>—everything
in conjunction with <i>bhav</i>—becomes the highest qualification,
pleases the Lord, draws His grace and makes your sadhana successful.
