Turning In (letters)
- Letter #30, 8-5-1971
- Beloved mukta,
- Love. There is no proof of the Divine in the world.
- For it is hidden, and hidden, and hidden.
- But IN YOU there is the Absolute proof.
- For it is hidden, and hidden, and hidden.
- Go IN and discover it.
- Thinking about it will not help.
- Action is needed.
- Action upon oneself.
- So ACT.
- That is, TURN IN.
- Man is like a sealed book, written before he was born.
- And ordinarily he carries it unopened inside himself until he dies.
- And, one who opens it knows that he is not and only the Divine is.
