Passage 10

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Only one who has recognised this truth is a seeker of Satya. Though his own faults run into hundreds, he makes no effort to recognise them. They magnify the tiniest wrong in others into mountains. This becomes a nature with them. In every matter, only one's own faults are reflected. All these are reflection, reaction, resound. Reflection of the innerbeing. Everything comes back as reflection, reaction, resound. All of it is from within oneself. If you think so-and-so is a bad man, that badness is in you. So drive that badness out of yourself; do not, instead, set it down in him. Only then does your mind become pure. So you must go on fostering sacred feelings in the mind.

Every Man Is the Embodiment of the Divine Ātma

Every man is the embodiment of the divine Ātma. Light energy, radio energy, wave energy, heat energy, electrical energy, magnetic energy: there are any number of such energies in man. I am giving you a small example. About My hairbrush. Once, when I went to East Africa, Doctor Patel, a very great devotee, gave this brush. That is because Africans have hair of this kind. If you put a brush from our Bhārata into this, its teeth break. This brush has iron rolls. Today I am revealing to you how much power there is in these hairs. It is enough just to hold the brush in the hand. All these hairs cling to it. Our children saw it. Why do all the hairs come to it like that? It means that Swami's whole body is nothing but divine energy. This itself is magnetic power. This magnetic power is one and the same from the nails to the crown of the head. That divine power itself has become the basis of the attraction of so many people. This is divine Prema, belonging to divine power. My Prema itself is My great property. That is why I keep saying now and then, Love is form, Truth is My breath; Bliss is My food, My life is My message; Expansion is My life; No reason for love, no season for love; no birth, no death. That power has no birth. No death.
