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 total. 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. | [This is an extract from Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha's book "Stita-Prajnata or Stable-mindedness"] |
