Passage 11

In English

Dual attitude must be given up

Have high ideals. Strive to elevate yourselves. Make for the Highest Goal, God. Whatever the obstacle or opposition, do not be disheartened. Give up the animal in you, stablise yourselves in human virtues and proceed boldly towards the achievements, of Divinity. Do not waver, going today to (devotion), tomorrow to sensual gratification and the day after again to . When everything is successful you are all for devotion; when something goes wrong you are filled with despair; when discipline is enforced you start, holding back and when love is showered, you are foremost. This dual attitude must be given up. The very Divine Principle which seekers strive to visualize by means of years of asceticism-and renunciation, (recitation of holy names) and (penance), is before you here and now; realise the good fortune you are endowed with. I have this day, the holy day of , granted pardon for all the errors you have fallen into knowingly or unknowingly up to this time. Have auspicious thoughts, speak auspicious words and do auspicious deeds. And as a result of this, attain the Embodiment of (auspiciousness), Himself.
