Passage 10

In English

Divine love is the panacea for curing "diseases"

On the basis of what happens in the world, people talk about sin and merit, but inherently there is nothing of the kind. There are misdeeds no doubt, but these should not be characterised as sins. Wittingly or otherwise man is prone to commit wrongs. Man should not commit such wrongs, because actions arising out of attachment or aversion, anger or hatred are expressions of the animal nature. When a man is filled with lust or hatred, he is a prey to a grievous illness. Vices like envy, anger, ego and hatred are various kinds of diseases. These cannot be cured by ordinary medicines or by professional doctors, who can only deal with physical ailments. These maladies are related to the (the internal instrument of action). There is a divine panacea for curing these diseases. That is Divine Love. Once that Divine Love is got, one can experience the "I" (higher Self) present in the -principle. When the diseases go, health is ensured. Hence, the first requisite is to develop the Love principle as the supreme quality of a human being. But this Love should not be mixed up with the myriad forms of affection and attachment found in daily life. These may be called "love," but they are only different forms of (attachment).
