Passage 9

In English

People should realise the impermanence of worldly pleasures and the transient nature of youth, wealth and progeny. People should turn their minds towards the eternal Divine. It may be asked: "If the Divine is present in all things, is there no difference between good and bad, truth and falsehood?" For the person who has the conviction that the Divine is present in everything, there is no good or bad. He sees the Divine equally in all things. Good and evil exist for the one who looks at these things in terms of these differences. In the , pointed out to how he was the active force behind all events and that should consider himself as an instrument of the Divine. When anyone acts out of the firm conviction that he is an instrument of the Divine and dedicates all his actions to the Divine, he will see no distinction between right and wrong. It is attachment to the body that produces the illusion of individual doership. When that attachment goes, there is realization of oneness with the Divine.
