Passage 23

In English

Human beings have missed the essential point and are unable to understand this as a result of their ignorance, and men have submitted themselves to a great many difficulties because of such ignorance. God is one, but each individual should be able to create a form for himself according to his taste. When salt is in the sea, it is not distinct from the sea. It is a part of the ocean. When we talk of this salty taste, it is a quality present in the ocean. When we say that the water of the ocean is salty, have we to drink and taste the entire ocean to experience this? One drop of water is enough to tell us that the ocean water is salty.
