Passage 17

In English

Thus, there are many useful lessons to be learnt from animals, birds and insects. Book knowledge alone is of little use. In fact, the human heart is the best teacher in the world. Time is a supreme preceptor. This vast Cosmos is the ideal book for all. And there is only one true friend and that is God. There is no need to go in search of a preceptor. Your heart is enough. If you follow the dictates of your heart, every action will be sanctified. It is necessary also to recognise the importance of Time. Time determines many of our actions in life. Time is a great teacher. The universe is a vast text-book. By properly studying what is happening in the cosmos you can learn any number of lessons. God is your best, unfailing friend at all times. All others are mere time-servers. People waste their lives believing in such petty fair-weather friends. Your best friend is residing in your heart as the Indweller.
