Passage 11

In English

The mortal man and the Immortal Divine

Among youth today, there is no regard for the limits to be observed in any sphere. Whether it be eating or sleeping or wandering about, they indulge in excesses in the name of freedom. What is real freedom? It is (knowledge of the Spirit), (self-control) and (Bliss of the Spirit)which constitute real freedom. Man is mortal and the Divine is immortal. In the mortal human being, there is the immortal Divine-Spirit. In the field of the heart, there is a (wish-fulfilling tree). The tree is surrounded by bushes and briars. When these are removed, the tree will be visible. This wish-fulfilling tree is within each person, but it is encompassed by the bad qualities in man. When these qualities are eliminated, the celestial tree will be recognised. This is the that each one has to perform. This is not the quest for something new. It is to experience what is yours. The entire cosmos is within you. The Universe is permeated by . One should be lucky to get this experience.
