Passage 24

In English

There is water in a tumbler and there is sugar which is settled at the bottom of the tumbler. If you drink the water from the top, it has no taste. God says, "Mad fellow! Know that worldly pleasures are tasteless." These are experiences gained through the mind. Take the spoon of , put it into the tumbler and stir it well. The sugar dissolves fully in water. The sugar is now above, below and all around in the water. What exists is only one truth. There is sugar of divinity at the bottom of the heart. But we have filled our heart with the water of worldly desires. When we mix sugar of divinity with water of worldliness, everything becomes divinity without distinction. Water becomes sweet. There is no distinction between world and divinity. Similarly, the body, the mind, and the are three entities. We should combine these into one. Without the , there is no body. In an evolved person, the mind, speech, and action are in unison. They manifest true love. To think something in the mind, talk something different and do something else will be like separate threads which can be easily broken. If all the threads are woven, they will be strong like cloth. In the cloth, it is the joining of the threads that gives strength. If the mind, and (indweller) are all in unison, it will be like all the rivers merging into the ocean. All individual streams become ocean itself.
