the boy was saying, 'here is the boy,' in the very act
of saying ―here is the boy‖, he cast his own
reflection in the mirror. Again the mother wanted
to persuade him that there was not a real boy in the
mirror; then again the boy wanted to have a proof
or demonstration. The boy went up to the mirror
and said, ' Look here, here is the boy,' but in the
very act of proving that there was no object in the
mirror, the boy put the object in the mirror.

If by the terms ' Self of matter ' and ' Self of spirit' it
is understood that matter is here and Spirit is
somewhere else, that matter has one self, and spirit
has another self, that they are distinct, separate,
this is wrong. Matter and spirit have one and the
same self.

Christ had very few books, and yet all the Masters
of Arts and Doctors of Divinity rack their brains to
interpret what is written in the Gospels.
Mohammed spoke beautiful things. Where did
they get all the inspiration and information? They
got it first-hand from a source which is also within
you.

that you had him not as your rival but as your
subordinate. Is it not a fact that some Christians,
not real Christians, but miscalled Christians, if they
have a Buddhist, a Mohammedan, or a Hindu on
the same ship with them, loathe his presence?
Rama tells of this from experience. They loathe his
presence. It mars their happiness, and if in heaven
you have to see around you all sorts of persons, -
persons who are far superior to you, like Christ
and Buddha, and there are other people in advance
of you, will that keep you happy? Can that keep
you happy? Just think over it a little, just give it a
moment's thought.

He realizes and feels that he is the true Divinity,
the real Being, the true thing in itself, the
substance, the Unknowable God. He is all, and
thus being All, he is in Heaven and in Heaven he
meets everybody.

Delivered in Denver, Colo., January 13, 1904
What is the Real Self? The body is not the Real Self,
nor is the mind the Real Self, nor is this life the Real
Self. How do you know that the world is? Through
your consciousness. Even your consciousness
undergoes three kinds of changes or moods. There
is the waking consciousness, there is the dreaming
consciousness, and there is also the deep - sleep
consciousness, your consciousness being like a
thermometer or barometer, it gauges the
temperature or the pressure of the world.

piece, and not only this 35 cents piece but all our
lifelong we shall spend no money to pay the
boatman. Why don't you yourself save the money
and come to the opposite bank with us? We go to
the opposite bank uninjured, unharmed through
your advice and teaching. You yourself also can go
to the opposite shore." The sage asked what piece
of advice was it that saved their money. The maid
reminded him of the text he once gave. That God's
name was a ship that carried us across the ocean of
this world. He said, alright, alright, he too must
practise it. There were other companions. (Don't go
away, here comes the interesting part of the story.)
There was a long, long rope. He fastened that rope
to his waist and asked his companions to keep the
remaining part of the rope to themselves, and said
he would" jump into the river, and take the name
of God and would venture to cross the river on
faith, but if they saw that he was being drowned,
they should drag him back. The sage jumped into
the river, went on for a few steps and was found to
be drowning. They drew him out. So just mark.
This kind of faith that that Pandit had, this faith
which gives credence to it, is not the saving
principle. This is the crookedness in your hearts.

HINTS TO REALIZATION
God is represented in some other aspects now. In a
wide, wide ocean of milk which covers the whole
universe, a beautiful crawling snake or dragon
forms a soft bed with some of the folds of its body
for a cushion. It has a thousand heads serving as an
umbrella. Upon such an ocean lies a most
beautiful, lovely Divinity who is the consort of this
God. She has a transparent body, eyes half closed
and lips smiling. She is softly rubbing the feet of
this God. This lovely figure is sitting upon a
beautiful, magnificent Lotus, and sitting upon that
she is rubbing his feet and kneading him. The eyes
of the two are meeting, each is looking into the
eyes of the other. Now what does this consort
represent? She represents Divinity, Wisdom, Bliss,
and Happiness. That is his own glory. This means
that the free soul looks into his own glory all the
time, and that soul is free when the world is all
drowned for him. Away from all relations and
connections, having snapped all ties, he has
nothing to do with the world.
FRAGMENTS
We hunger and thirst like a man without food,
crave a taste of realization, chant mantram, putting
the breath of mind into the flute. Search out,
therefore, in the lake of mind the innumerable
selfish desires and crush them one by one - make
firm resolutions, and take solemn vows. When you
come out of the lake, the waters will poison none
who drink. Let cows, women, men drink - the
poison of revilers will turn to pure water flowing
fresh from God. Seek out points of weakness and
eradicate them. Desires prevent concentration and
until purity and knowledge of Self exist, real
concentration cannot be had. Eradicate first that
which brings you down when trying to
concentrate. Be true to yourself. In this country
there are too many Lectures given by others. You
must lecture to yourself. No progress comes
without this.

INDIAN WOMANHOOD
Rama will now read from a lecture delivered by an
English lady in London, which was printed in an
Indian paper. Rama reads from this Lecture in
order to inform you about the wrong notions and
the false ideas which are spread in this country
about the way of living in India. Some people are
under the impression that people who visit India
will be unable to do any work; they are under the
impression that the caste system there is
pronounced to such a degree that no American can
mix with them. Many such ideas have been spread
by some people who were never in touch with the
Indians.

ABOUT WIFEHOOD
It is very generally represented in America and
England that in India the wife is not respected and
loved. This is a very false idea, for in India the wife
is more loved and respected than in this country.
In this country the wife is loved and kissed and
fondled in public but in private the wife is rejected.
In India the husband pays but little or no respect to
the wife in public, but in his heart of hearts he
worships her.'
