Passage 12

In English

Realise that the Divine is within you

People should realise, as said, that only Truth and Righteousness are lasting and all other things, including this body, wealth and kinsfolk are impermanent. Manifest the truth within .you and put into practice that truth. What you need for spiritual progress are three things. A heart free from attachment and hatred, a tongue that is not tainted by untruth, a body not polluted by violence - the one who has these three is of sacred birth. Without these three, all penances and religious practices are of no use. You have to pray incessantly for Divine grace to confer these qualities. Realise that the Divine is within you. Life is given to you to realise lasting bliss by the right use of the body, the mind, the intellect and the inner motivator - . You have to acquire the wisdom to lead such a life based in the love of God.
