The Seven Realities

[Machomodelhunk]

1.The only Real Existence is that of the One and only GOD who is the Self in every (finite) self.

2. The only Real Love is the love for this Infinity (GOD), which arouses an intense longing to see, know and become one with its Truth (GOD).

3.The only Real Sacrifice is that in which, in pursuance of this love, all things, body, mind, position, welfare, and even life itself, are sacrificed.

4.The only Real Renunciation is that which abandons, even in the midst of worldly duties, all selfish thoughts and desires.

5.The only Real Knowledge is the knowledge is that GOD is the inner dweller in good people and so-called bad, in saints and in so-called sinner. This knowledge requires you to help all equally as circumstances demand, without expectation of reward and, when compelled to take part in a dispute, to act without the slightest trace of enmity or hatred; to try to make others happy with brotherly or sisterly feelings for each one; to harm no one in though, word or deed, not even those who harm you.

6.The only Real Control is the discipline of the senses from indulgence in low desires, which alone ensures absolute purity of character.

7. The only Real Surrender is that in which poise is undisturbed by any adverse circumstances and the individual, amidst every kind of hardship, is resigned with perfect calm to the Will of God.

Guys, please give some credit to original contributor else it amounts plagiarism. Anyway, quite a heavy dose of spirituality (again, whatever). I guess, I can definitely live without it.
