Passage 27

In English

There is an imperative need for man to control his mind. You should not leap into action immediately, listening to the promptings of the mind. We should discriminate and progress further. But there are people in the world, who listen to the commanding call of the mind and translate it into practice immediately. Man is transformed into God when he makes efforts with his mind. Who is ‘’ and who is ‘’? The one who is not bound by the day is ‘,’ for the day symbolises morning and night. Hence ‘,’ is the one who transcends morning and night. The lord is beyond pleasure and pain, merit and sin. We besmirch God today by our wrong conduct. But God is beyond pleasure and pain. He goes beyond our ken. He exceeds our grasp. Dogs bark when elephants walk. What does an elephant lose when dogs bark? What does God lose when people carp at him? It is man who is the loser but not God. The man who has fastened his faith on God should foster Divine feelings and Divine actions. God is the embodiment of Love.
