Passage 1

In English

The Cosmos is controlled by the Divine; The Divine is governed by Truth; Truth is governed by noble beings; The noble are the Divine Itself. EMBODIMENTS of Divine Love! The entire visible cosmos is under the control of the Divine. The Divine is governed by Truth. That Truth is subject to (noble beings). A noble person is the embodiment of God. The human body, made up of the five basic elements and endowed with the five sense organs, is not different from the mind. The mind wears the body as a vesture. The mind, for its enjoyment, uses the body as an instrument. It is the cause of all experiences. A body without a mind is as illusory as a crop on a barren field. In ordinary life people regard the body as permanent and for the sake of its pleasures undertake all kinds of efforts. This is a sign of ignorance. A body without the mind is as useless as a school without a teacher and a temple without a deity. The body should be regarded as an instrument for right living.
