necessary that a man should be able to give away huge sums of money to be spiritually great; a man who is poor may not be able to do this and yet be none the less spiritual, if he gives what he can.

It is not the amount that endows the gift with spiritual meaning; it is the spirit in which it is given. In fact, a large donation may often be accompanied with pride or some selfish motive; and then it loses its spiritual value; and even a small gift, given with humility and utterly unselfish love, has a much greater spiritual value.

Spiritual life is not a matter of quantities, but of inherent quality of living. Spiritual Infinity includes in its scope all the phases of life—it comprehends acts which are great as well as those that are small. Being greater than the greatest, Spiritual Infinity is also smaller than the smallest; and it can express itself equally through happenings great or small. Thus a smile or a look stands on the same level as offering one's own life for a cause, when the smile or the look springs from Truth-Consciousness. There an no graduations in spiritual importance when all life is lived in the shadow of eternity. If life were to consist only of big things, and if all the little things were to be omitted from its scope, it would not only be not infinite, but would be extremely impoverished. The Infinite Truth which is latent in everything can reveal itself only when life is seen and accepted in its totality.

Limitation comes into existence owing to ego-centered desires and self-will. Possessiveness in all its forms leads to a life of limitation. For example, if one looks upon another with covetous eyes and finds that instead of winning that person's love, some one else has it, the free life of the spirit is narrowed down and strangled by an acute consciousness of limitation and suffocating jealousy. But if one looks at the situation with a heart purged of longing, the love received by the other will be seen in its natural beauty. In the clarity of perception that comes through non-possessiveness, one will not only taste the freedom of non-duality, but also its joy. Some one else's receiving that love is like receiving it oneself, once one no longer insists on the claims of a single form, but identifies with life in all its forms.

In non-duality, there is freedom from limitation, and the knowledge and appreciation of things as they are; and in non-duality alone is there the realization of true spiritual Infinity that secures abiding and unfading bliss. What is true of the limitation of jealousy is true of all other limitations like
