Passage 3

In English

Lessons to be learnt from 's life

Man acquires during his life three types of visions - The earliest is , the vision through the eye of ignorance. He is able to visualise only his own body and its needs, his own kith and kin and their fortunes and his own class, caste, community or creed and its value and validity. The second vision sees beyond these considerations and pays attention to character and virtues only. The eye that sees the good in all, irrespective of personal relationship, is the , the Eye of Wisdom. The third stage is , the highest Universal Wisdom, the Eye of Divine Love. It sees the entire Cosmos as the Body of the living God. Beyond this stage, lies the Stage of Total Mergence. The mystery of creation is sought to be discovered by man but it is something unique and indecipherable. Man's talents can never fathom it. The how and why God's sport is known only to God. Man's task is to enjoy it and benefit by it. Human beings are born into the world in which they live until they die. The body that is dead cannot be contacted again, at any time or at any place. But, even after death, one can be contacted, through either of two ways - the noble deeds one has done while alive or the ignoble acts one has inflicted during his life has become immortal as the embodiment of righteousness; has secured a place in human memory as a symbol-of demonic wickedness.
