In English
Man takes to the easier, smoother path and lands himself in disappointment and despair. He does not identify the in his , the Divine in his human-ness; he does not realise that society is the body of God; he does not respect the heritage that, has, come down for him from the sages of this land. He moves about as an animal, regardless of the Divinity in him and around him. Imitation has become the order of the day; it is an insidious infection. The imitator becomes the bondsman of the person he imitates. Surely, this is not the way of life for self-respecting people. Look at the tiny seed; it has much greater self-respect than these persons who borrow their thoughts, attitudes, likes and dislikes from others. The seed is hidden in soil; but, it does not become `soil'. It is fed with water; but, it does not turn into water. It is given manure; but, it does not change into manure. It preserves its individuality, in spite of all the forces that operate around it. It sprout`, grows into a sapling and a tree, according to its own, innate nature. Learn from the seed this great lesson and you can be saved from the evils of 'intimation'. Mix with people; but, do not give up your uniqueness. Benefit by and by association with the good and the great. But, be yourself, your own true Self.
