Passage 31

In English

Our body is like a machine. We have the machine of a radio and through the radio we listen to several programmes. Where are these coming from? Is the radio generating them or are they generated elsewhere? These programmes are being generated in some other broadcasting station, and those programmes are being transmitted to us through the radio. The radio is not generating the programmes. Like this, when we listen to a person’s thoughts or ideas, we must realise that they are not coming from his mouth. They are being transmitted through him after they are generated from his heart. He only transmits them like a radio. There is an origin, there is a source from where these sounds are generated. Radio is only an instrument through which these sound waves are transmitted to us. The human body is like this radio. The source is the and all ideas and thoughts are being generated at this source, the . You may ask the question as to what are good thoughts and bad thoughts if they are all coming from the sacred . But why should you classify them as good and bad thoughts? In the process of tuning the radio, you are making a mistake. In this process, the thought that we want to listen to is something, and the station to which we tune is something different. Not only this, in order to enable us to listen to the right thing, the manner in which you make the tuning and the adjustment should also be proper. Our desire is one thing, and if our action is not in tune with that desire, we are having this difficulty. We want to listen to one station, and we tune to a different station. It means such sacred ideas which you want to promote and such sacred ideas which you want in your mind should guide your actions. That is, whatever you do must be to promote such sacred ideas. The ideas and thoughts will not be called good if they are good only to you. They will be called good only if they do good to the whole world.
