“A few are so born who confuse dhal for boiled rice and take great pleasure in this confusion”
He mentions this statement explaining how generally people confuse themselves and also take great pleasure in their confusion.
I would like to express following where we generally confuse ourselves and take great pleasure in our confusion. This confusion makes us indirectly not to discharge our duties properly in the way Master expects.
1. Power: Master says in the same article how people confuse themselves about the power bestowed to them. He says “They just learnt the word ‘Power’, but they did not know, did not attempt to understand, what Power is, and how to use it to help others”.
Here my understanding is when Master bestowed us higher conditions; we should not confuse ourselves that the higher conditions are for our individual growth that is vertical. Where as we should do service to humanity that is horizontal. We should not enjoy ourselves with the higher conditions but we should express Divine in all aspects of our life and serve others.
2. Master’s support: Master says in the same article how people confuse themselves about the Master’ s support. He says “They do not wish to do anything themselves. They wish that I alone should do all that is necessary for achieving their uplift, through the use of my inner powers – I should give them the desire to engage in meditation practice, get them to do their daily practice, give them improvement, progress and promotion and get them interested in all this activity through my own powers so that they do not have to do anything themselves. They do not wish to make the slightest change in any detail of their life or habits, nor do any type of practice etc., that has been taught to them”.
