ULTIMATE

The experience of the Ultimate begins when every other experience dies out. Those who have acquired Layavastha in Brahman, as much as is possible for the human being, remain in it sometimes with the full depth, and sometimes a little shallow. A man fully absorbed in Brahman all the time can do any work but will look like a statue.(SS-362)
I express the meaning of 'adityavarnam tamasah parastat' according to my poor ability. In Chapter 8, Sloka 9 of Bhagavad Gita the Lord has described the effulgent form of the Ultimate Reality, which is the object of all Upasana. This is also the point of all beginning, as the word Adi in Adityavarnam suggests. But beyond it lies the still finer region of Reality which the Lord has described in slokas 20 and 21 of the same chapter. This is the region beyond all beginning, where even upasana, in the ordinarily comprehensible sense of the term, has come to an end. As it may be dangerous to speak of the end of upasana before those who have not yet tasted the condition in a natural way, the 'Adityavarnam may advantageously be described to them as the ultimate condition.(SS-447,448)

UNEASINESS

Going beyond easiness is uneasiness. A man becomes conscious when similarity or sameness is disturbed. As long as easiness is there, there is no disturbance.The state we acquire by the help of the meditation causes a repulse. When the outgoing tendencies of the mind come in touch with it, or in other words, when the tendencies touch the field of easiness, its opposite is felt. So we should also try to calm down the outgoing tendencies of the mind. I now give you something about uneasiness. If somehow a man can begin to feel easiness in uneasiness then it will not give place to the outgoing tendencies to enter in it.(PP-101)

UNIFORMITY

Uniformity is the characteristic of Nature and every one has his due share of it. God is known to be both Samvritti and Sama-darshi. A real Master too must have his heart full with the feelings of Uniformity. Otherwise he is not worthy of the job at all.
(SS-200)

UNINVITED GUESTS

The best course to free yourself from unwanted ideas is to treat them as uninvited guests and remain unmindful of them. They will then wither away like unwatered plants and ultimately the same sacred thought will remain predominant. The only way to accomplish it is, therefore, meditation under the guidance of a capable master. (DR-34)
Treat your thoughts and ideas as uninvited guests. If they trouble you further just imagine them to be mine and not yours. This process is very effective and can never fail to bring about the desired result. Thoughts can be stopped just in a moment, but that will not be in our interest. Since for the attainment of liberation it is but essential to throw out the buried thoughts after having completed their bhoga.(SS-109,110)

UNIVERSE

We have in our mind an idea of this great universe which is, as we all know, the material manifestation of God. Generally we look upon it as Maya or illusion to distinguish it from the unchanging absolute Reality.(DR-99) The whole of the science of Mathematics rests upon the little base, the zero. Now, for this limitless universe we have to trace out a zero or base from which all planes of existence have started. (DR-100)

UNIVERSAL LOVE

I feel happy when the word 'Universal love' comes from the mouth of any person. Generally the saints of the day preach universal love but they do not find ways to tell you how it is acquired. Only remove the hatred, I say, and universal love is there. (SDG-101) . It is there like a silk-worm in a cocoon. (SDG-101)
One has to remove only the brokenness and he will feel the love flowing equally to one and all, and it becomes universal. In that case father, mother, husband, wife and everybody will have the same share. Love is not bad, but its proper utilization we do not know. That, our system will teach in due course of time. (SDG-104)
Life in family is a life worth having, because in it we learn how to love others. It is a school for training real life. You have to remove only the brokenness and you will feel the love flowing equally to one and all, and it becomes universal. (SDG- 31)
We have come out from Divine Energy, and it has become our base. But it has gone out of sight which we have to revive, if we want to maintain ourselves. Love is the way of inner awakening to the Reality. (SDG-31)

UNMINDFUL

(People) They talk a good deal about God but inwardly they might be no better than a down-right atheist. They acknowledge His existence in words but at heart they seem to be totally unmindful of His existence. To them the only utility of God is when they are in distress or misery. They expect Him on such occasions to attend to their call to remove their troubles. They pray to Him chiefly for the supply of their wants. It is really far from the idea of true love and devotion. (DR-98)

UNREST

Unrest and disturbance are the predominant features of the time. For this the modern civilisation too is responsible to a great extent. It now requires a good deal of time and labour to overcome this disorder. It can be removed only through sincere love and devotion to the divine Master, and this in all respects is the only unfailing instrument for it and the surest path of success. (SS-408)

UPANISHADS

After a long lapse of time, after being occupied with the elements, it was felt that the thought had remained fixed upon it after continuously dwelling on it. Further, they again started to ponder over that Original current which would be called spirituality. The result of this is the Upanishads and this is the result of their right thinking. (SS-333)

USURP

It is thus quite evident that if a man comes out as a Guru or Master he has usurped the position really due to God and as such it is nothing but mere blasphemy.(DR-59) If a Guru comes out into the field as a Master, puffed up with feelings of greatness and superiority, it is obvious that he has usurped the position of the real Master - God. As such it is quite definite that he cannot benefit others to the required extent.(SS-192)
