Passage 6

In English

Man can lead a blissful life only when he enjoys health. Wealth can offer comforts but not peace. Wealth can provide a multi-storyed mansion but not sound sleep. Wealth can provide bodily comforts, but physical comforts do not produce bliss. Air-conditioners and Dunlopillo mattresses may give comfort to the body. But when there is no peace of mind, of what use are these comforts? The body is like a water bubble, the mind is like a monkey; don't follow the body or the mind, follow the conscience. Man today is not following the conscience. He is sticking to the body and mind which are useless. He must enquire into the problem, "Who am I?" He will discover that the body; the senses and the mind are all the instruments and he is their master. The master has today become a slave of his body and mind, which should be his servants. You are-the Soul. Make it the basis for all your actions.
