Passage 18

In English

Meaning of horse sacrifice

The horse is not only restless but it also runs fast while riding thereon. So also, man's mind is both restless and very fast-moving. That is why complained to (during the dialogue) that the mind is restless, strong, obstinate and dangerous. Such a highly fickle mind which is comparable to the horse (an animal) should be surrendered to God as a sacrificial offering. This indeed is the real meaning behind the Horse sacrifice. But nowadays everyone is misguided by the outer meaning only, and nobody takes the trouble of knowing the inner meaning.
