The Greatest Sermon!
The Guru strolled majestically through the marketplace of Srinagar, followed by the seeker. The early morning light was still a misty gray, rising over the Kashmir hills beyond the river. The tall, sari-clad women had filled their scrubbed stalls with homegrown flowers, rice and garden products.

The taciturn men stood by the stalls watching the Tibetan with the dark admiring eyes. And as he passed a knot of silent watchers, one disentangled himself and stopped the Wise One.

“If you are a great soul,” he said, “give us the Truth of God,”
The Master smiled happily. “Ah, the truth of God. So ye would like to know the truth? The real truth? But who can explain the glories of God with words?”
The man spoke defensively. “We have suffered much, great one. Nobody has come here before to teach us. Truth, they say, lies beyond the verbal expression of man. If you can communicate partial insights we will come to know thy purpose, and would be led into the stage where we may achieve fuller realization.”

“That is true.” Said the Guru, spreading his hands. “But truth has always existed and is unborn and indestructible. It is not of any nature except as the will of God, and does not belong to the categories of things which exist or do not exist. Neither does it have form or appearance.
“My friends, ye must know that ye are but a drop from the ocean of God’s love and mercy, and this, I say, is the Supreme Being, itself. Ye, as the drop of pure Spirit, art so mixed with matter that ye come in bondage and must be released from it. Unless aided by a Supreme son ye are always liable to yield to temptation and will deteriorate and will sink down in matter.

So I tell thee, the Divine current is composed of five known strains of melodies, and is the connecting link between the created Soul and the Creator. It is the ladder by which Soul travels upward on its journey into the highest kingdom of God.
So I plead with thee, good friends, look for God within thyselves, and pray that He will fill thy cups until they overflow!”
The Tibetan turned away from them and walked on, while the seeker followed, noticing the brightness of the marketplace.
