In plain words
When there is a heap of embers at the root of the smoke, when there is a driver who runs the railway train, when there is a master over the automatic light, must there not be One to create the world?
Embodiments of the divine Ātma!
A great man of knowledge, one who had reached the very highest level in the spiritual sphere as well: Socrates. His first disciple was Plato. His disciple was Alexander. One after another, each in his own way, they went on handing down a fine ideal. One day Plato sat in meditation. A holy person, 5'3" tall, appeared to him. He could not make out who it was. He gave three names. ‘You must teach these three to all your disciples without fail,’ he said. What were those three? Truth, Goodness, Beauty. These are none other than Satyaṃ, Śivaṃ, Sundaraṃ. From that day on he went on telling everyone about these three. Alexander went on following this very teaching. Aristotle was a man of great spiritual citta. His disciple Alexander set out to march on Bhārata and invade it. Then Aristotle: ‘Alexander! Bhārata is most holy. It is a land of great merit, a land of sacrifice. Do not try to invade it with evil intent. But if you wish to visit it, go once and come back! Beyond that, you must not enter Bhārata in power and give its people the least trouble,’ he said.
