Passage 4

In English

Integral relationship between man and God

Just as the eyes, ears and other limbs are parts of the body, every individual is a part of society. Society is a limb of humanity. Humanity is a a limb of Nature and Nature is a limb of God. Man has to realise the integral relationship between himself and God. Sin is not something outside man. Man's actions determine whether they are good or bad. They are based on thoughts arising in the mind. Through sublime thoughts one can reach the highest state of (direct perception of God). For attaining this state of Realisation, one need not undertake penance in a forest. It has to be realised within oneself. The body, the mind and the intellect are only instruments. Man is their master. When the mind is infested with bad thoughts, one indulges in bad deeds. When one follows Truth, he can become Divine. One cannot visualize Truth or God until he achieves harmony in thought, word and deed.
