Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 A Quotation from Bhagawan Men are proficient in various skills. They manufacture and operate diverse machines and master many fields of knowledge. However they have not acquired the peace that is their due. They are carried along by the torrential flood of worldly life. Though endowed with human capabilities exercisable through a human body, men do not choose the straight path of Truth. They wander about in false and fleeting pleasures and fritter their years, forgetting their innate, Divine Reality. This is far from the fulfillment they should aspire for. Mere skill, mere designing and manipulation of machines, hollow pomp, boast and assertions about being a jnani - these do not reveal the secret of human nature. Has man solved this mystery which includes all mysteries? Has he found the answer which is the key to all problems? Has he earned the knowledge which can make him know all that he has to know? The solution, the answer, the knowledge is one, and only one. Why pluck the leaves, break the branches and hew the trunk in order to destroy the tree? Cut the root and it is done! The Vedic seers and the sages who followed, concentrated, on the discovery of this key knowledge, the Atmavidya, the science of the Atman. Seekers from overseas also became aware of this vidya and the modes of sadhana it lays down, and have acclaimed it enthusiastically the world over. SSS: Vol. X; Page 285.
