What are the various steps in journey to God that every single devotee undergoes?
First practise the attitude: “I am Yours.” Let the wave discover and acknowledge that it belongs to the sea. This step is not easy; the wave takes a long time to recognise the vast sea beneath that gives it its existence.
The second step is:
“I am Yours; You are My Master. I am Your servant.” This mental attitude will tame the ego, and make every activity worthwhile.
The next step is:
“You are mine.” Here the wave demands the support of the sea as its right. The Lord has to take the responsibility of guarding and guiding the individual.
The next stage is:
“You are I; I am but the image, and You are the Reality. I have no separate individuality; there is no duality.”
Offer your virtues as flowers to the Lord; virtues that spread beauty and fragrance.
Be blissful.
