Shri Maharaj Ji's
Letter to all Souls
Enshrine in golden letters the divine secret that I am about to reveal to you. The day a soul genuinely develops an unwavering deep conviction in his heart that God and His names are eternally one and the same, with equal powers and attributes, at that very moment he will become God realized. God is so merciful that He declares in the scriptures, "I have made Myself omnipresent, but you do not believe in this. I reside in My divine abode Golok, but you cannot reach there. I reside within your heart, but you do not accept this. Therefore, for your convenience, I have seated Myself with all My powers in My divine names!" The day this truth sinks into your heart, you will be so overwhelmed with bliss that you will not be able to recite "Radhey." Your emotional voice will choke in your throat, and your mind will drown in the ocean of bliss. Without delay, your Guru will shower His Grace and make you God realized. Just believe in these words of mine!
Yours, Kripalu
