Equal Vision by Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha

 

Think of our own brain. If you don't use it properly for its functions

of knowing, analyzing and discovering, it will lose its present value

and importance.

 

So accept life and the world, the senses and their role, the mind and

its full dimensions, in toto. Regard them all as the best and the most

beneficial `instruments' for use. Utilize each in its sphere

effectively, and achieve the much desired Universality. That is the

golden path for fulfillment.

 

Do not be lethargic in leaving the customary delusions, sectarian

outlooks. Install, in their place, the grand vision of evenness,

oneness. Oneness is a practice for the mind, to allay and outlive its

divisional, extremist standpoints. There is no oneness in the world

outside. Elementally, physically, chemically, biologically, the whole

existence is plural. It has been and has to be so. But in the `source'

level, the `substance' level, everything in the universe is One! So

psychologically, we should not foster plurality. Let the mind and

intelligence be given to equal-vision. Enjoy the beauty, grace and

elixir this `vision' generates and be promoted and fulfilled in this

very life.
