In English
A thorn pricks the foot and causes pain. It is another thorn that can remove the one that is stuck in the foot and relieve one’s pain. The mind can be compared to a thorn. It is the mind that can efface a person’s sin just as it can pile up one’s sins. Again, it is the mind that is responsible for the birth of the human body as well as consigning it to the earth. It is therefore the duty of every human being to realise the true nature of mind. It is said “ (Mind alone is the cause for either bondage or liberation). One has to realise this truth and try to cleanse one’s mind by removing illusion and cultivating sacred and noble thoughts. This is the foremost duty of a (spiritual aspirant).
