Passage 8

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

There is no … foundation. How will a wall called self satisfaction stand on this at all? It will fall… at the wind itself. How can you lay the roof called self sacrifice? How can living in a house with no roof be poss…? That is why: self confidence foundation, self satisfaction-walls, …acrifice roof, self realisation-life. So life means self realisation. We find out what all is happening in …. What happened in Russia, what … in America, what happened in Pakistan: we look at the newspaper. But nuisance comes from oneself. We are learning all… … . One does not learn who one is. Without knowing oneself, what is the use… in knowing so many things? This is my head. This is my hand. This is my stomach. but who …am I? No one is finding this out. From rising at daybreak till lying down at night it is my my.my … …; no one puts the question, '…ham am I'. To know this is spirituality. This …, hand, stomach: all these are instruments. All these are your slaves. You are master. … must not become a slave. One must become Master. If you want to be Master, you must master… your senses. You do not restrain even your own senses. How can you restrain others? … … first of all must use discrimination power. Is it good or bad? 'Is …right or wrong': so this discrimination must be used well. Today students have that discrimination power in plenty. But what is this discrimination like? It is …ish discrimination. He … this discrimination in a way that suits himself. That is not right. Real discrimination is needed. Today such broad …, this, is not exercised. He uses the discrimination by which he justifies what is his own. That is not … right. Because of that very thing humanness falls prey to cruelty in so many ways. If pain comes to me, I am in pain …. We must feel that the other man's pain too is just the same. That is true spiritual… …: there must be the broad feeling that what I desire, others too must have. 'Lokāssamastā sukhino bhavantu': the whole world must be happy. If you say, 'Let the world go to ruin, I … must be happy', how can you be happy?

Embodiments of Prema! Spirituality means that we must bring the heart to blossom. We must regard all karma… … as God's karmas. Whatever we do, we must believe it is God's work. This is tru… spirituality. Do not think about the fruit. Perform karmas. This karma itself becomes the root… of yoga.
