Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 MEDITATE WHILE YOU WORK : A NEW PATH FOR A NEW AGE (21) Swami Ashokananda (continued) One thing in the present age which I find most tragic is that human beings have forgotten their ability to be great. They have brought everything down to the level of a common mind. It is said the common mind is one percent intelligent, and everything is being studied and interpreted with this one percent of intelligence. That is condemning the human soul. Man has proved his greatness in past ages, if not also in the present age. But all these evidences of the greatness of the human being and of his profound depths are just brushed aside, and human history has been reduced to a recital of meagre achievements. No wonder, therefore, that there are millions and millions of average men who are becoming more and more dull. Very soon they will not have any brain left. No! We are great. Every single one of us is destined to realize the highest truth. Everything that we do is a movement towards that realization. In the Bhagavad-Gita Sri Krishna has said: mama vartmanuvartante manusyah partha sarvasah [3] 'Everything that man does is really a movement towards Me, progress towards Me.' Swami Vivekananda recognized the same truth. (to be continued) [3] Bhagvad-Gita. 4.11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
