Passage 5

In English

When the sun’s rays are focussed directly on an object through the magnifying glass, they will be able to burn away the object. This power of burning is, however, present in every ray of the Sun. Similarly, when the rays of the are focussed directly on the mirror of the mind, they can burn away all kinds of delusion. Such a divine power is immanent in every human being. Some people may be aware of it, while others may not. Unfortunately, man who is omnipotent and omniscient and divine in nature, considers himself as weak, ignorant and dull-witted and is wasting his precious life. A small example. We may stock all provisions in our house; but, if we do not know the art of cooking, all of them go waste. Similarly, all kinds of faculties are immanent in our inner being. Since we do not know how to make use of them, we are groping in the darkness of ignorance.
