MEDITATE WHILE YOU WORK : A NEW PATH FOR A NEW AGE (26)

Swami Ashokananda

 

Now, great teachers do not always think things out with the

brain, as we do. They are really the soul of humanity, not just

a smal fragment of it. They represent vast sections of mankind,

not merely of the present age but also of future ages, even a

little of the past. In themselves they represent the aspirations

and the understanding of a vast number of men and wome, millions

and millions of human beings. When a world teacher says, 'I want

food', it is as of millions of hungry people through centuries

and centuries were crying out through his voice for food. It is

enough that he has said 'I want food'; he does not have to think

about it. He has spoken, and he is not just one person, he is a

million human beings. Swami Vivekananda once said. 'I am man

incarnate.' He used to feel himself at one with man. And he felt

that in this age millions and millions of men and women will be

lifted to their native dignity. The masses have been trampled under.

A handful of people have lived in comfort and in dignity in past

ages, while millions have slaved for this handful. Now the time

has come when these millions will have their day. Strength will

come to them, confidence will come to them, a sense of freedom,

a sense of self-respect will come to them. They will enjoy the

things of this world, they will enjoy the things of the intellect,

and they will reach towards the things of the Spirit. This is the

age of these millions and millions of people.
