   anything if they come within the shelter of the Supreme   
   Consciousness. Only this has to be ensured, that their surrender is

   God loves all.  To suggest otherwise, limits his jurisdiction.   
      
   'Those who are seated in Heaven are as dear to the Supreme   
   Consciousness as those who are ensconced in Hell, scorched in   
   eternal hellfire. Even for those infernal creatures the Supreme   
   Consciousness has unbounded love and affection--even such people are   
   not helpless. Their piteous wailings reach His ears, and accordingly   
   He takes steps to help them. But this is not the case for certain   
   human beings: rather even at the sight of the sorrows and sufferings   
   of afflicted people they will say, "Well done! as you sow, so you   
   reap! Those people are reaping the consequences of their past   
   misdeeds!" In the human mind there is an ingrained sense of hatred   
   for others. But there is no such feeling in the mind of God.   
      
   The Supreme Consciousness is the all-controlling Entity. No one else   
   can dictate to Him. This is the major difference between a unit   
   human being and the Supreme Being. In spite of such a serious   
   difference, the Supreme Consciousness loves human beings and showers   
   His Grace on them, and out of His infinite love for them, He has   
   given them a valuable treasure -- mind. The characteristic of this   
   mind is that as it thinks so it becomes. Hence if they so desire,   
   human beings can merge their individual minds in the Macrocosmic   
   Mind. While taking the ideation of the Supreme Consciousness, human   
   minds will one day become identified with Him, and one auspicious   
   moment all the inherent qualities of the Supreme Consciousness will   
   be infused in their unit minds. One who knows God becomes God.   
      
   There cannot be two God's. So in the last stage of evolution, the   
   living beings become completely identified with the Supreme   
   Consciousness, and then only the microcosms will be fully   
   established in their infinite blissful Cosmic Stance.'   
   (PARAMA PURUS'A AND HIS CREATION, Subha's'ita Sam'graha Part 10, 17   
   November 1971, Nagpur)   
      
   In this regard, God is indescribable.   
      
   'Now if we want to write about His qualifications we require ink, we   
   require paper, and we require - what? We require a writer. To write   
   about His qualifications we require these things, So the poet   
   said, 'If we get the mighty Himalayas as an ink tablet - we require   
   ink - and as an ink pot, all the oceans of the world; and then a   
   pen. If we use he biggest imaginary tree of Heaven as the pen and if   
   this entire lithosphere is used as paper, then what - who is to   
   write? If the imaginary goddess of learning, the mythological   
   goddess of learning, Minerva, writes with this ink tablet, ink pot,   
   paper and pen - for how many days? For an innumerable number of   
   days - even then it won't be possible for her to write all His   
   qualifications.   
      
   God is beyond the periphery of all qualifications.'   
   (THE SUPREME WITNESS AND THE GREAT THIEF, A'nanda Vacana'mrtam Part   
   12, 10 May 1979 evening, Fiesch, Switzerland)   
      
   However, God is both infinitely pervasive and deeply and personally   
   associative.  All have a direct personal relationship with God.   
      
   'You know if there is an impersonal entity controlling everything,   
   having no link with you, in that case the psychology of discipline   
   won't be created, because in that case an order is followed or   
   obeyed or adhered to due to a fear complex - but in the field of   
   spirituality there must not be any complex, neither fear complex nor   
   shy complex nor any other complex. So the scriptures saying that if   
   you do not obey Him you will go to Hell, like this, these scriptures   
   are the worst enemy of human society. Because these scriptures   
   create a complex, a fear complex, in the human mind, and that fear   
   complex creates disparity in this human society.   
      
   This human society is one. It is a singular entity. It cannot be   
   divided; it must not be divided; and we won't allow any entity to   
   create any fissiparous tendency in this human society.   
      
   Whatever a man is to do in his spiritual life he is to do - why ?   
   Because he is in love with the Supreme Entity. Love is the first   
   word, love is the starting point, and love is the last point. And   
   scriptures have no moral right to create a fear complex in the human   
   mind.'   
   (9 May 1979 evening, Fiesch, Switzerland, THE STARTING POINT AND THE   
   LAST POINT, A'nanda Vacana'mrtam Part 12)   
      
   Each person must realise from this that the real progress is at the   
   spiritual level.  To overcome dogma and more importantly to   
   strengthen one's mind and the urge for spiritual quest, practical   
   steps must be taken at an internal level.   
      
   'Actual progress is in spiritual level, not in physical or psychic   
   level. Your progress is auto-suggestion or outer suggestion, when   
   you say something like ...... "Sudarshan, be an ideal man. Sudarshan   
   be an ideal man" When you say internally, what is it? It is auto-   
   suggestion. Sudarshan is giving suggestion to Sudarshan. The   
   conscience goads Sudarshan's mind towards the idealistic stance of   
   Sudarshan -- "Be an ideal man". The mental picture is in the mind of   
   Sudarshan. And the conscience of Sudarshan says, "Sudarshan, be an   
   ideal man". The conscience of Sudarshan goads towards that ideal   
   figure. Do you follow the psychology? What is it? It is auto-   
   suggestion. "I must be a good man. I must be a good boy. I must do   
   something concrete for the world. I won't be afraid of anybody in   
   this world. I must be a good boy. I must do something concrete for   
   the world. No power in Heaven or Earth can check me." What are these   
   things? Auto-suggestion.'

   Having the ideation of an ideal spiritual awareness, it is then   
   relatively easy to see that God is divine love or what some call   
   bliss.   
      
   'It is said about the way in which the Supreme Soul can be seen in   
   the soul: In the same way that something can be seen in a mirror, a   
   person can see the Supreme Soul by analysing the unit soul. The   
   Supreme Soul (God) can be seen in 'heaven' in the same way that an   
   entity is seen in a dream.   
      
   The sages have said that that God has created this universe from a   
   perennial fount of bliss. Having created the world, God gets joy   
   from the creation of innumerable bubbles in divine sport and dance.   
   Thinking this, He has created the world and continues to do so. By   
   maintaining the creation He gets bliss and the created beings living   
   in the world also get bliss. By appropriating the sportful essence   
   of the created world, He gets bliss, and the created being gets   
   bliss when a unit being loses himself in the Supreme Consciousness   
   in the supreme stance of the divine play.   
      
   The sole duty of intelligent and judicious beings is to keep oneself   
   in bliss and to conjoin the living being, world and God in the flow   
   of bliss.   
      
   There is a heaven and hell difference between pleasure and bliss.   
   But by way of explanation, one may say that bliss is the state of   
   endless pleasure. Bliss is above both negativity and positivity.   
   Bliss is not confined to the arena of either one. It is the   
   consummation of the two.'   
   (SHABDA CAYANIKA' PART 1, DISCOURSE 5 A'NT TO A'HIIRA, 12 October

   To suggest otherwise through notions of condemnation to hell, is the   
   creation of limited and dogmatic human minds - and a violent
