Make efforts to open your heart, to realize the Self, to know the Divine Unity, which transcends all limitations created by humans. We create boundaries, we say: 'God is only this, God is just that ...' But if we limit God, then is He really God? No, it's not God! But it becomes the limited concept we have of him. The limits in humans are ignorance and knowledge is what frees him of ignorance. I am talking about knowledge of the Divine, inner knowledge, that knowledge in you. But when you have some knowledge, some day you must also let go because you can not make God or with ignorance or with knowledge. Knowledge can lead you to a certain degree of realization of the Divine, but to really realize God, to really know the Divine, you need to go beyond everything, beyond all limits. It is as if walking, you grab a thorn in the foot. You need another thorn to remove the first. Then what are you doing? Will you keep the 2 thorns in your pocket or are you going to throw? You throw them! So it's like to know the Divine, you must overcome all the limitations that are in your mind. -Sri Swami Vishwananda-
