Passage 2

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

O man! Born as a man, grown up as a man, living as a man, to transform your humanness into divinity: that is your duty, He taught. Every human being who is a messenger of the Paramātma is to proclaim to the world the Paramātma's teachings of Satya, the principle of Prema and the words of Śānti, to experience them and to make others rejoice in them: that is man's chief duty. Only the man who spreads the principle of God bears the name of messenger. Otherwise, those who spread matters that are physical, worldly, material and transient cannot be messengers. To proclaim to this world the principle of Satya, divinity, the principle of Prema, the principle of forbearance and the principle of sympathy: that is the duty of one who is a messenger. Now, in keeping with this very truth, when Jesus was born, three Arabian kings arrived there. They saw the infant and rejoiced, and as they were going back, one king said to Mary, 'Mother! In your womb has been born one who loves God.' When he had spoken and was going back, the second king said, 'Mother! Mary, God loves the son born from your womb. A son loved by God has been born to you.' The third king said, 'Mother Mary, God is not one and your son another: the two are one'; and giving this message, he went away. When we recognise the inner meaning of these three and act on it, the truth becomes perfectly clear to us. The man who loves God is a messenger. The one who is loved by God is the Son of God. The man who recognises the oneness of the two is the one in whom father and son are one.
