The world is a panorama of endless movement, a
vast assemblage of rainbow colours. If upon seeing it, people think that
they have really attained something permanent, or become intoxicated
with the colours, they will make a great mistake. People are attracted
to minute portions of this earth, and embracing them, seek the path of
self-gratification. But long before they attain satisfaction, those
minute portions, those colours, vanish into nothingness, leaving them in
endless frustration and lamentation, like blind, headless demons. This
is not a decree of God, it is the law of the universe.
The Supreme Cognitive
Principle, which is the only knowable entity for all other beings, is
the sole permanent entity. To attain something permanent, one must not
run after the petty pleasures of the world. Rather, knowing that eternal
Entity, that permanent Entity, to be the only goal of life, one has to
propel all one’s mental propensities towards Him. One must not waste
one’s potentialities mistaking the temporal for the eternal.
All created objects are
sitting in the midst of the multitude of finite things, and with the
help of a finite unit mind, it is impossible, either in theory or in
practice, to think of the Infinite. When the mind becomes intoxicated
with the thought of the Infinite, then the finite mind transcends its
own limits and loses itself in a state of endless peace. This is the
highest attainment.
