Guest guest Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Man owes his movements to another Power, whereas he thinks that 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 cannot remain apart. Why then prattle, “I do, I act, or I function”? A Self-realised being cannot help benefiting the world. His very existence is the highest good.
