Passage 15

In English

Darwin attained perfection in a similar way. He was a renowned scientist, highly intelligent and wise. What practices did he undertake to become so? Whose help did he seek? While he was a student, he had a teacher named Henslow whose command he always followed implicitly. Ever immersed in the thoughts of his teacher, he followed in his footsteps. Once his teacher invited him to a meeting. Both Darwin and Henslow were standing next to each other and they looked alike. How was this possible? It was due to the fact that he followed his teacher perfectly. When coal comes in contact with fire, it turns into fire. The teacher is the fire and the disciple is the coal. But in , people do not try to realise this truth. When we remember God, we should follow His command also. You may hear any number of discourses, but it is sheer waste of time if what you hear does not penetrate your heart.
