Passage 12

In English

While the Sruthi teaches the oneness and yet sometimes talks of in an isolated manner, there is a meaning for this. When we talk of the nature or , we usually mean the gross manifestation of the created world. In addition to this, thre is the subtle aspect of human nature which is also included in the word . In this subtle aspect of , if there is no fire, then the body will perish. It is only through fire that there is a possibility of water coming up for us. In every body air is present in the form of or life. If air which takes the form of life is not present in our body, then the entire life becomes extinct. In the aspect of fire and that of air or , the sun takes the place of the heart. If the heart is missing, even if one is leading a life for outward purposes, it is equivalent to death. Therefore, if there is no , and sun, we cannot recognise human life. In this context, in order that we may understand human life in its fullest sense, it is appropriate to use the word for all that which encompasses humanity.
