But why allow anything to come in the way between you
and the Divine, any idea, any incident; when you are in full as-
piration and joy, let nothing count, nothing be of any impor-

what he should be, how he should act, how he should not act
— they can only come in the way. Only the Divine Himself mat-

can know what the Divine is, not before. Krishna is Krishna, one
does not care what he did or did not do; only to see Him, meet
Him, feel the Light, the Presence, the Love, the Ananda is what
matters. So it is always for the spiritual aspiration —it is the law
of the spiritual life.
Don't waste time any longer in these ideas of the mind or
in any starts of the vital — blow these clouds away. Keep fixed
on the one thing indispensable.
