Passage 8

In English

One should not act solely to the dictates of the mind. The mind has the discriminating power to distinguish good and bad, right and wrong and therefore one should use it in the right way. Acting contrarily is demonic. How does this demonic nature arise? Desires arise in the mind and action proceeds as per the dictates of the mind. The mind by itself is neutral to good or bad. Only when it is associated with the body, good or bad arises. The mind is quite capable of functioning without the influence of the body. Discarding the dictates of both body and mind, the one who stands firmly in the Self qualifies himself for divinity. For existence, all three are required. These subtleties are there in humanness.
