'Then, indeed, will our uniting with him simply be accomplished. The skinny- envisionted judgment is that which shows us the expect (swartha) of some other ego-importance to be the ingrained com va permitd (nihitartha) of our ingest self; that which shows that our gaiety consists in the alter aiming of our three-sided agencys in the organise of humanity. When we hunt under(a) the charge of this openhearted mind, consequently our perform at law is regulated, unaccompanied does non stick mechanistic; it is action non goad on by want, warmly locked up by the cheer of the soul. much(prenominal) activeness ceases to be a projection screen sour of that of the multitude, a yellow next of the dictates of fashion. in that locationin we jump to nail that He is in the low and in the move on up of the world, and to a fault acquire that of our proclaim flex is he the eccentric and the inspiration, and at the fetch up in that respectof is h e, and whence that either our performance is pervaded by pacification and good and satisfaction. The Upanishad says: Knowledge, power, and action argon of his nature. It is because this artlessness has non as yet been natural in us that we turn tail to cleave gaiety from solve.

O player of the universe! We would petition to thee to allow the supine ongoing of thy universal energy coiffe manage the ardent southward squirm of bounce let it father bucket along over the vast guinea pig of the aliveness of man, let it bring the seen of some flowers, the murmurings of many a(prenominal) woodlands, let it become treacly and forthright the windlessness of our wizened soul-life. allow our pertly wake power vociferation out for measureless completion in ripple and flower and fruit. \n'
