Passage 1

In English

WHEN clouds gather in the sky, lightning illuminates the clouds. Similarly, wisdom must illuminate education. This word of Sai is the path of Truth. Smaller than the smallest atom, bigger than the biggest thing, witness of everything, the (true Self) is (Supreme Self) and is . Students! From sunrise to sunset your day lasts and it is rounded off with sleep. Thus the life of man on earth goes on and on. When sunrises in the East, we say the day dawns, and when the sunsets in the West, we say that night has set in. According to man is not the rise and setting of the Sun a baseless belief? Men point out four directions as East, West, North and South determining each other's position according to these imagined concepts. But do they, in fact, exist. When we recognise that the earth is spherical, such divisions are untrue. Thus the daily experience of man differs from truth, but man depends on that experience. For example when we sit in a boat, car, train or plane and they move, we also move with them; but we think we are stationary. Thus it is a natural experience of man that while the earth moves round itself and round the Sun, we find it at rest. Though the earth is in fast motion we think it is stationary, and though we are stationary on earth, we are ever in motion. Even the greatest scientist acts according to this apparent experience and not according to the Truth. Though there is no sunrise and sunset, he believes them to be and though there cannot be any East, West, North, South he accepts them to be. The scientific standards are observations and experiments.
