Passage 4

In English

Modern man is under the illusion that peace and happiness are outside and is therefore searching for them in the outside world. Unable to realise the truth that he himself is an embodiment of peace, man is trying to search for peace in the outside turbulent world. As a matter of fact, man is fighting for his rights, forgetting at the same time his duty towards his fellow human beings and the country. The main reason for this state of affairs is, he has lost his self-confidence and seeks solace in acquiring worldly objects. He is forgetting his true nature as a result of developing an outward vision instead of an inner vision. He is ignorant of his own true nature. He has become so blind as not to realise the truth that the outside world is nothing but a reflection of the feelings in his own mind. He is unable to visualise the truth that his own mind is responsible for everything. Without mind, the world does not exist at all! It is therefore necessary to realise the truth that the entire objective world is a creation of one’s own mind.
