Passage 13

In English

The Upanishad says, (experience of non-dualism is wisdom). The attitude of fragmentation has to be curbed. Assume that you purchased a cloth of two metres length; and you gave it to the tailor for making into a shirt. The tailor first cuts it into several pieces, and then stitches it into a proper shape. While the scissor is that which fragments, sewing is the unifying process. Mind fragments or looks at diversity, but the intellect unifies. Just as the unified form of a shirt is fit to be worn, unified vision is required for a spiritual life. Many boys and girls carry a comb and a small mirror in their pockets. But an aspirant should carry with him the mirror of intellect and the comb of discrimination. If you carry these two with you, you will never look ugly and you will have true decoration and grace. Real decoration lies in the proper use of the mind and intellect.
