In English
For the progress of Man, both –– a strong mind as well as purity of thought are essential. The mental strength is the basis for the rise or fall of a human being. Man has two states of mind based upon his perception at a given point of time –– one is and the other (desirable and undesirable). The river flows in the hills, jumps down into the valley, gains momentum due to the ups and downs of the terrain and then flows swiftly, changing its course now and then due to other hill streams, rivulets and tributaries joining it. Similarly, the stream of life also flows swiftly and turbulently due to several ups and downs and also the relationships man establishes with others. No one can escape this swift current and ups and downs in his life’s stream. Whether in the beginning of one’s life or in the middle age or in old age, at one time or other, one has to experience them. It is very essential that man realises this truth. One who has realised this truth will never be afraid of anything in life. It is only those who have not realised this natural phenomenon that will be haunted by such fear. Hence, one has to realise this truth, at the outset.
