Passage 55

In English

Your mind should be focused on God. Consider this as lock and here is the key. Put the key in the lock and turn it to the right and the lock opens; turn it to the left and it is locked. Your heart is the lock and your mind is the key. Turn your mind to God and you are free. Turn it to the world and you are bound. Our mind is constantly turned towards the world. It is obsessed with the world. We are not directing it toward spirituality. Of course, the world is there, but our experience there is impermanent, ephemeral. There is only one truth and that is spiritual. To become spiritual is to ‘merge’. The worldly life is like a ‘marriage’ no, not even a marriage, actually a ‘mirage’, an illusion. A mirage is visible but there is no reality behind it. Marriage takes place, but there is no oneness between the husband and the wife. If one says ‘yes’, the other says ‘no’ and there is endless strife. Does marriage produce unity? No. Unity alone is reality.
