"He only is wise who devotes himself to realizing,
not reading only, the ancient revelations," he said. "Solve all
your problems through meditation. {FN35-14} Exchange unprofitable
religious speculations for actual God-contact. Clear your mind of
dogmatic theological debris; let in the fresh, healing waters of
direct perception. Attune yourself to the active inner Guidance;
the Divine Voice has the answer to every dilemma of life. Though
man's ingenuity for getting himself into trouble appears to be
endless, the Infinite Succor is no less resourceful."

The master's omnipresence was demonstrated one day before a group
of disciples who were listening to his exposition of the BHAGAVAD
GITA. As he was explaining the meaning of KUTASTHA CHAITANYA or
the Christ Consciousness in all vibratory creation, Lahiri Mahasaya
suddenly gasped and cried out:
"I am drowning in the bodies of many souls off the coast of Japan!"
The next morning the chelas read a newspaper account of the death
of many people whose ship had foundered the preceding day near
Japan.
The distant disciples of Lahiri Mahasaya were often made aware of
his enfolding presence. "I am ever with those who practice KRIYA,"
he said consolingly to chelas who could not remain near him. "I
will guide you to the Cosmic Home through your enlarging perceptions.
