Passage 5

In English

We must try to strengthen our mental capacity. The mind has immense potency and there is no other power that is equal to it. The mind itself is the sole cause for everything, either for bondage or for freedom, for happiness as well as for misery, and for so many other things. A small example to illustrate this is in the story about and . is the son and is the father. We must try to know the distinction between the father and the son. Because Lord killed his brother, was very angry with him and he tried to search for ; and when he could not see him anywhere, he told his son that or God is nowhere in this world. But argued with his father and asserted that God is everywhere. He said, “ D o not doubt, God is not only here but He is everywhere. Wherever you search for Him, He will be present there.” Then told his son, “Mad boy, I have searched every place, there is no place which I have not searched, I have searched even the ocean, but I could not find Him.” But had complete faith and confidence in God and he told his father, “It is only a defect of your vision and the malady of your mind if you could not find Him. Search for Him sincerely and with faith, you will be able to find Him.” Then the father asked, “Is he present in this pillar?” “Yes, He is there without fail,” said the son. Then broke the pillar. Instantaneously, God appeared in the form of “”, half-lion and half-man. God was not found by when he searched for Him everywhere, but He made Himself visible in the pillar when told his father that God is everywhere. The reason is this: never believed in his heart that there is God, but believed with great faith that God is there and that He is omnipresent. Therefore, according to the idea had, he could not find God; and according to the idea had, he could find God everywhere.
