CRAVING OF THE SOUL
because I can be going on talking like this or as Babuji has written we can read the whole thing and then say we have understood but then have we understood this?
“When we ponder over it, we find that we have set up in us a community of thoughts, feeding it with impulses,” we give weight for it, feeding it with impulses “nurtured in the nursery of the brain”, that is yours, nobody else has given these thoughts. The asuri thought is yours, the daivi thought is yours, it is your making, it is your nursery. Had you put proper manures, had you put the proper seeds, you would have definitely got a beautiful flower, you would not have got a thorn. The much adored flower now a days, the rose, has got invariably certain thorns with it. I think it typically signifies what is the brain of a modern man. He has got some roses along with it he has got also thorns. It is necessary that we should remove these thorns before we offer it to God. Nobody offers the roses along with thorns in a garland, either for God or for men. It’s our duty. If you are not capable of getting only flowers like a Jasmine without the thorns then I think you should be prepared to do the weeding job. If you are a fortunate one, ok happy.
