Think in the terms of development. We are inclined to decipher its meaning in economic terms… global and domestic. But what about the development of the soul in its return to God? Ultimately, the goals of development are to realize the potential for human society as well as for the total human being. Spirituality in every theater of life inspires the effort toward a more humane and sustainable world order. It is our spiritual GNP … That is: “God-Nature-Person.”
“From infancy through youth and maturity the soul ever aspires to peer into the Mystery, to realize itself and to manifest its divinity. On earth it develops a personality to draw and to develop the rich experiences of character that it requires in this life to serve its progress of self-unfoldment! Love of truth, steadfastness, and subjectivity impel and empower its blessed sojourn. From life to life and through all planes of consciousness beyond this earth-station the soul holds fast to the indomitable yearning for pure light, for pure existence, and for pure love, because the soul is self-revealing.”
—Srimati Kamala
“Satyagraha is literally holding on to Truth and it means, therefore, Truth-force. Truth is soul or spirit. It is, therefore, known as soul-force.
To realize nonviolence means to feel within you its strength—soul force—to know God. A person who has known God will be incapable of harboring anger or fear within him, no matter how overpowering the cause for it may be.”
—Mahatma Gandhi
