In plain words
That power is spirituality. People think spirituality means being alone. That is a great mistake. Every human being must understand this spiritual principle as lying within himself. Infinite powers lie within man. Not one power can be found in this world that is not in man. Everything we see, everything that is, everything we have looked on, is the divine feeling within us, reflection of the inner being. We bring forth all the powers that are in us and enjoy them. We must try to recognise this principle well. How are we to recognise it? From ancient times the culture of Bhārata has gone on spreading and teaching it by many paths.
Turning the mind towards God is what is auspicious
Today is Mahāśivarātri. Every day we go through a night. But those are ordinary nights. Those are dark nights. This is Śivarātri, which means the auspicious night. How is it auspicious? The powers that belong to the mind have sixteen kalās. ‘The moon was born of the Manas; the sun came forth from the eye’: humanness is made of many kalās. Of these sixteen kalās, on this day, the fourteenth day of the bright half of Māgha, fifteen have merged away. Today there is the greatest chance of bringing the power of the mind under our control with great ease. That is why they called it the auspicious day. Turning our mind towards God is what is auspicious. The animal nature left over in man is very great. We must not put anyone through any kind of hardship. Everything is filled with Īśvara! ‘Īśāvāsyam idaṃ jagat’, ‘Īśvaraḥ sarvabhūtānāṃ’: the power of consciousness that is in all beings is Īśvara's very nature. Whomever we worship, whomever we hurt, it comes to hurting God Himself. It is with this in mind that they said ‘Paropakāraḥ puṇyāya, pāpāya parapīḍanam.’ Help ever, hurt never.
