MANIFEST THE DIVINITY WITHIN YOU, AND EVERYTHING WILL BE HARMONIOUSLY ARRANGED AROUND IT.


Manifest the divinity within you, and everything will be harmoniously arranged around it. Remember the illustration of Indra and Virochana in the Vedas; both were taught their divinity. But the Asura, Virochana, took his body for his God. Indra, being a Deva, understood that the Atman was meant. You are the children of India. You are the descendants of the Devas. Matter can never be your God; body can never be your God.
