In plain words
What shall I say?’ he said. The eyes are what saw. But the eyes have no mouth. The mouth is what can speak. But the mouth did not see. What shall I do? What saw must speak. What speaks must see. So, what saw is the eyes. What spoke is the mouth. So he pleaded that this was not truth. Then Īśvara appeared: “You have achieved this truth. May you soon attain Mokṣa,” he blessed him, and went away. So when a situation comes where you would have to tell an untruth, do not tell the untruth. Do not tell the truth either. Take your time. Keep silence, without any of these. But you should not tell an untruth, thinking, ‘Here is a chance for harm to be done’, or that all these troubles can be escaped. Through lacking just such use, help and resourcefulness, the whole world is falling into trouble.
Truth is God, Love is God
First of all we must recognise the secret of truth. What is that secret of truth? Truth itself is God. Truth is God. We must believe the feeling that truth itself is God. Love is God, Live in Love. We must live in this truth. Only then will our resolve keep coming true. With this in view the Buddha attained that nirvāṇa. There are no sādhanas the Buddha did not do. There are no books the Buddha did not read. There are no great souls the Buddha did not see. He saw everyone, heard everything. But in the very end, what did he think. What use is there in hearing these ideas, which do not make known divinity and the like? To know this divinity, our heart itself matters most. This mind, like a mad monkey, stands in the way of every holy path. This mind, a mad monkey, has kept even God far away. A man who takes the mind as his support cannot attain any success at all. A man who takes the mind as his support falls lower than the animals and comes to ruin. A man of the earth who takes such things as his support becomes merely a man of intellect, but not a man of Jñāna.
