| CONTEMPLATION OF THE DIVINE GLORY |
| This is not a simple 'letter' but a combination; not pure gold but an alloy. Ravana's penance and merit
are indeed great; but they are mixed with cruelty. First learn the simple 'letter' Rama. Compassionate, loving
and lovable, Rama is an easy God to know and make our own. But to recognize the God who is in Ravana, it
takes some time. First the simple, then the complicated letter.
We should train ourselves first to see the Lord in good people, and later on in those not so good. The immense Being which we behold in the ocean is also present in the little drop of water. The Lord who is in Ramachandra is in Ravana too. What is found in the gross is present in the subtle; what is found in the simple is present in the complex. By these two methods we should learn to read the book of this world.
