Guest guest Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 In his first discourse in Westernised Ceylon, the Master struck a new note in his discourse. " You admire the little electric lamp on your table; have you learnt to admire the glorious sun which sheds light in the whole universe? " You admire a bottle of French perfume; have you learnt to admire the fragrance of the rose and jasmine? " You admire the paintings of artists and the little toys made by craftsmen; have you ever thought of the beautiful creation of the Lord--this earth itself, which is only an infinitesimal part of His creation? " You glorify the little man who builds a small swimming pool; can you glorify adequately the Lord for His creation of oceans, lakes and rivers? " You deify the sculptor who carves some figures on stones; you deify the scientist for his superficial knowledge of the inner human mechanism. Think of the exquisite creation of God--the marvellous human body. Can all the scientists in the world ever produce a human being? " The intelligence with which scientists have invented so many things is itself a spark of the Divine. Man is a drop in the ocean of Consciousness. His ego is a point in the limitless Truth of Existence. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
