The whole day long I think of you, And often far into the night: Your beauteous face shines ever bright And thrills my heart, ah! through and through!
How oft I hear your flute-like voice ’Midst shout and roar of daily life! Your whispers lead me far from strife To heights of love, and I rejoice!
In dreams you come and speak to me Of th’ secret which is in your heart. And then I know we’re not apart: Of One Eternal Self are we!

A medieval poet, Jnanadas, speaks of a village girl. With a pitcher on her head, she goes to a well to fill her vessel with water. While returning with the pitcher, she looks at Krishna. He is sitting on the bank of the darkcoloured Jamuna. Sitting in the shade of a tree which grows on the river-bank, He has His flute on His lips. And He sings on — His song of ravishing beauty. The village girl hears the song: she looks on with tear-filled eyes! Fair is she and pure beyond compare.

RADHA’S QUEST
Who is she? They call her Radha. Let her speak. Her words are simple and filled with the wisdom of the heart: I tell thee truly, friend, I beheld Krishna’s beauty! It thrilled me: it filled my heart: I forgot to fill the pitcher with Onlywater:apart was filled when I returned.
Radha is beyond the Vedas.” Radha was the daughter of a prince: but in her heart was a longing for communion with Krishna. In a poem by Chandidas, Radha says: “A weak woman am I: but I am spotless in my heart!” “Lotus-eyed” has she been called in the songs of medieval poets. As she looked upon the Face of Krishna, she was purged of all desire. She became the very picture of purity.In the picture painted of her by India’s saints, she is represented as filled with love and longing in her heart. “A flood of tears,” we read, “rolled down Radha’s cheeks as she thought of Krishna.” In a mood which comes upon her, again and again, she says:
His substance is Love! And his colour is Love!
I know not who is He Who plays upon the flute!
Krishna teaches in the Gita and the Bhagavata that “love” is not “desire.” Desire runs after the senses, but love is communion with the infinite. Radha loved Krishna, and was transformed into His image. Radha rose above desire: and her love-filled heart was fashioned intoLalan,fairness.the

Kubja, alas! looked ugly: crooked was her form: and everyone shunned her. But Krishna had a love-filled heart. To love is to heal. Krishna was a healer. He gazed on Kubja with compassion in His heart: and her face and form were changed. Kubja was healed: she became fair beyond compare.
Krishna’s other name is Love. The great emperor, Akbar, asked Dadu, the Indian saint: What is God’s nature? What is His form? What is His substance? What is His colour?
I know whose picture pursueth me:
“I know not what to do!”

these few words is the teaching, as I understand it, of the Rishis, the Sages of India. In this Teaching is the essence of the Hindu Faith. I bow down in reverence to all the great ones of humanity — to Krishna and Christ, to Buddha and Muhammad, to Zoroaster and Mahavira, to Francis and Kabir, to Chaitanya and Ramakrishna. But I do not feel shy of the inspiration of the word and wisdom of the “Hindu” Faith. And I do not accept the view which regards “Hinduism” as being “fundamentally pessimistic” and “not conducive to an active, purposeful life.” The Gita recognises the value of meditation: but the Gita, also, urges that meditation must flower into action and service — into yagna, worship, sacrifice!Help others — is what I have said to myself, again and again — specially, since India’s blundering “Partition”. Help others, hath Life said to me. For piteous is the need of my brothers and sisters, everywhere. Not a few have perished in the process we

I gaze on the sunset’s radiant glow: then I feel that beyond the sun’s decline and beyond all suns and moons and stars is a Brighter World of God beyond all gods. Then, looking around, I see that the world is tossed to and fro by tempest and storm: and my heart cries to Krishna and Christ, to Buddha and Nanak, to Kabir and Tiruvalluvar, the weaver-saint of South India : and, with love and humility in my heart, I say to all who strive and suffer: Feel not weary and forlorn! But in a faith, build on! Ye children of storm and of Siva whose dance is death!
Press on! Build on! Sing the Song, of the Ancient One!
As we tread the pathways of life, we are faced again and again with problems. Every problem comes to unfold our hiddenTherefore,strength.every problem is a friend in disguise.

BE A MASTER
Here, in this threedimensional world — we measure distances in terms of miles. But in the Kingdom of Kirishna, the distance between me and the Beloved is an uncharitable thought, a rude word, a harsh criticism, an impure motive, an egoistic impulse, a selfish act.

of life. The truly spiritual life is the heroic life. You must be a hero in the struggle of life. “The universe,” says Sadhu Vaswani, “challenges you to tremendous tasks, to adventures and responsibilities. You must meet the challenge of the universe with courage. Be brave, be fearless!”“The second great quality is the quality of simplicity. For the way of wisdom is the simple way. And the simple life, according to Sadhu Vaswani, is the life of purity and poverty. And as true purity is of the heart, true poverty means abandoning ambition, desire for prominence, thoughts of greatness. There is so much of egoism in our work, so much of ambition and lovelessness in our public life. Ahankara, egoism, is a deadly enemy of the simple life. “True religion”, Dadaji urges, “is the death of egoism, for true religion is poverty. Therefore, he says, renounce ambition, renounce aggressiveness, renounce reputation, renounce all imitation and walk the way of humility.”Thethird great quality is the quality of sympathy. How wonderful was the heart of Sadhu Vaswani! How it moved out in sympathy to all creatures in suffering and pain! And the one prayer he repeatedly

offered was — “May all living things be Civilisation,happy!”today, is sinking into chaos. There is economic chaos, there is political chaos in the world, today. There is class warfare. Clouds of hate and war are gathering thick and fast. The world, today, is in great agony. “In sympathy,” says Sadhu Vaswani, “is the power of a new world, a new civilisation. For sympathy is creative. In the political and economic chaos of the world, today, sympathy has the power to build that new civilisation, that new Kingdom of which Krishna and Christ and Buddha and Baha’u’llah have spoken and sung to the millions of mankind.”
