   approach and outlook.  Civil society will no longer tolerate such   
   attitudes.   
      
   'There is neither heaven nor hell.'   
   (A'NANDA SU'TRAM, Chapter 2)   
      
   A devotee of God will undergo anything to please Him.  So it has   
   been said:   
      
   '"If God is in hell and we are in heaven, that heaven will be worse   
   than hell for us. But if God is in hell, we can remain there with   
   Him till eternity. We want to remain with God, whether in heaven or   
   in hell."   
      
   So the relationship with God is personal, and quite mutual. People   
   speak to God because they cannot help it.'   
   (NA'MA AND NA'MII, SUBHA'S'ITA SAM'GRAHA PART 21, 19 October 1971   
   DMC, Bombay)   
      
   We must remember the universal approach.   
      
   'These created beings, they being the progeny of the same Father,   
   are members of the same Universal Family. They have got a common tie   
   of the Universal Fraternity. We must not forget this supreme fact.   
   Now, everybody is within God's mind. Can a sinner go beyond the   
   periphery of His mind, when there is nothing beyond His mind ? No,   
   nobody can go beyond the periphery of His mind. And, He cannot   
   say, "You naughty chap, get out". If such an order is given by Him,   
   that naughty child will then and there say, "Oh Supreme Father,   
   where am I to go ? Because you are infinite, everything is within   
   you. If you say, 'Oh naughty chap, get out', then certainly there is   
   something outside Your mind, and I am to go there. And, if there is   
   something outside, then You are not infinite. So, either You please,   
   Oh Supreme Father, withdraw Your order or change Your name."   
      
   Sinners are also within His mind, virtuous people are also within   
   His mind. The sinners are His naughty children, and He always wants   
   that His naughty children should become good children by their   
   conduct. He cannot expel anybody from His mind, from the arena of   
   His universal mind.   
      
   Now, after creation, after being freed from the tortures of   
   monotony, what does God do? He is playing His eternal game with His   
   loving children, and this is the world. So, nobody should suffer   
   from the psychology of melancholia. None should feel that he or she   
   is alone in this universe. None should feel that he or she is   
   helpless or hopeless. And, nobody should suffer from inferiority   
   complex or superiority complex. When the Supreme Father is with you,   
   when you are within His mind, then you should not be afraid of any   
   physical or any psychic enemy, that would be stronger than your   
   Supreme Father. When the Supreme Entity is omniscient and   
   omnipotent, no power in heaven or hell can do anything bad for Him.   
      
   The final goal, the Supreme Desideratum of each and every living   
   being is that Supreme Consciousness, is that Supreme Father. So, all   
   living beings and all inanimate objects came from the same source,   
   they live in the same ectoplasmic field of the Supreme Entity. And,   
   their final goal, their desideratum is that Supreme Home.'
