Passage 10

In English

A person who spends all the 24 hours in an air-conditioned room will not know its value. He will appreciate the value of the air-conditioner only when he goes out in the hot sun. So, hot sun teaches the value of coolness. Value of the heater is realised in a hill station. Current is common to the air conditioner and the heater. Machines are many, but current is the same. Capacities vary from machine to machine. Bulbs have different colours and different wattages. In one room, a bulb of lesser wattage is used, and in the other, a brighter bulb is used. But their voltage is the same. There is the same Divinity in the (ignorant person), (a person of spiritual knowledge) and the (a person of divine wisdom). They are like three bulbs of different wattages, having the same voltage of Divinity. Change in mental levels is not real progress. Real progress involves change of heart. This is what is known as . One has to use heart while applying discrimination. On one side, you have the mind and on the other, the heart. Mind is a mad monkey; body is a water bubble. Do not follow the body. Do not follow the mind as you do not know when and how it will jump like a monkey. Looking at a fruit on the other tree, the monkey tries to reach it, leaving the one in the hand.
