By vigilantly and hopefully watching, you bring about this internal maturity, this internal self-development, and this spiritual development. How to do it? I must become aware of whatever there is in me. If there is a God in me, let me see. If there is a devil in me, let me see. I am not proud of being a God. Someone said, “Let us have the truth, even if the heavens should fall.”
One must have the courage to discover the truth within one’s own nature, without merely assuming what it is like. I cannot start by saying, “I am the spark of God,” or “God dwells in me.” May be, but look what comes out of me! God alone does not seem to dwell in me!
Watch, observe, how can something come out of me that is not in me? If there is a bowl of sugar and you dip your hand in, you cannot take out salt. You claim that there is God in you, is it “God” that comes out of you? Look at the rubbish that comes out of your mouth and mind. Is that God? No, that means there is something else there that you had conveniently ignored.
