In English
MAN is misled into believing that nature is his rival which has to be defeated and conquered; he struggles and suffers loss and pain in the process. He considers it heroic to undergo travail in what he calls conquest of nature. But, if only he feels kinship with nature, as equally saturated with divinity, and proclaiming with equal clarity the immanence of God, he can be happier and much more restful and content. When you see everywhere, on every inch of ground, in every being, small or big, the foot-print of God, nature is seen in a new vesture of glory, a manifestation that demands worship, rather than exploitation and enslavement. The ego in man sets him against all else; silence it and all becomes one's kith and kin. The ego is the first sprout from the seed of ignorance, which is not a positive acquisition, but only, the absence of knowledge. When knowledge shines, inner and outer natures are both seen as divine. There is nothing that is not IT. When this is experienced, love floods the heart and flows towards all. There is no independence; there is only interdependence, for all waves are equally dependent on the sea beneath. You use the word, 'my own'; who is this 'my' who owns you, and whom you own as yourself?. It is the Divine in you, and in all. is the word in Sanskrit, for "one's desire," the (desire) of (oneself). Since the self of one and the self of all else are the same, should be the common factor in all desires, namely, love. Listen to the voice of God, that warns, directs, prompts, and prevents; you cannot then be wrong.
