Guest guest Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Man owes his movements to another Power, whereas he thinks he does everything himself -- just like a lame man bluffing that, were he helped to stand up, he would fight and chase away the enemy. Action is impelled by desire; desire arises only after the rise of the ego; and this ego owes its origin to a Higher Power on which its existence depends. It can not remain apart. Why then prattle, " I do, or I act, or I function " ? A Self-realized being cannot help but benefit the world. His very existence is the highest good.
