Glimpses of Sentiments
THERE IS NOT HARMONY BETWEEN THE LORD OF
THE WORLD AND THE WORLD Oh dear! With you even words of conversation appear very' light and soft like flowers; words of conversation with others appear rough like thorns and stones. Even well arranged words in converation with other meaningless and uninteresting words without any arrangments or placed without any understanding become quite meaningful, and beautiful. Your company has really tremendous impact. Outside, the speed without any real progess makes me tired. But progress towards you without any speed gives me freshness, enthustasm and joy. My running outside is a disaster of my life. When I take a turn towards you, that is the only supreme happening of my life. When I observe outside, I hear, I take care then I become poorer. Only in seeing you, hearing you, taking your care I become perfect emperor. Outside there is a serpent of only demands. Within you there pours soft, silky feelings. Within you there is overflowing juice, extract of compassion. In no way there is any possibility of having harmony between you and the world. There is no chance of meeting of two minds. Even then, you are called "lord of the world!" "God of the world," "Jagdamba." You are indeed peculiarly wonderful.
