Passage 14

In English

Let us think of a water surface on a big tank. The surface of the water keeps on swaying and moving when there is a breeze. We see the reflection of the moon or the sun in this water. This reflection of the sun or the moon also appears to move along with the surface of the water. But the original sun or moon is not moving. They are steady. That is, while the image of the sun appears to be shaking or trembling, the original is not moving. If the water is steady, the image of the sun will not move because the water surface is not moving. Both the stationary and the moving images of the sun are not the original, but they are the images. Because of illusion, the moving image of the sun may be called a messenger of God. The stationary image of the sun has been described as the Son of God. One who has understood the situation properly and one who has recognised the fact that both the stationary sun and the moving sun are only images of the true sun will proclaim in this context “I and my Father are the same”.
