Passage 1

In English

The entire Cosmos is governed by God; God is governed by Truth; Truth is governed by the Supreme Wise; Such a noble one is equally Divine. THE entire cosmos is subject to the sway of the Divine. The cosmic Divine Lord is governed, by Truth. That Truth is governed by a (supremely wise person). Such a noble being is the very embodiment of God - "." God is the embodiment of Time. Time is eternal. It has no end. It is boundless. As against this eternal Time, the life-span of man is very limited. Because of his limited time-span, man is bound by the passage of time in terms of hours, days, months and years. All the latter are by their intrinsic nature transient. The Lord declares: "" (I am the Eternal Time). It is indeed a pity that this eternal time should be considered as a fleeting moment. Man's 'actions are governed by the change in time and circumstances. In the procession of years, the present new year is known as "." The past year was known as "." To bid farewell to and to welcome are considered a natural action among common people. Not realizing the infinite and sacred nature of Time, men set bounds to Time and bid farewell to one year and extend welcome to a new year. In this context, all actions of men appear to be artificial. On this day; when one person meets another, he greets the other with the words: "Happy New Year!" The other man replies: "The same to you!" These words have no meaning at all. If, for one moment on one day one wishes someone happiness, will he secure happiness? People's entire lives are consumed by artificial behaviour.
