श्री पुष्करमुनि अभिनन्दन ग्रन्थ : षष्ठम खण्ड
science and technology, the number of poor and illiterate people in the world is on the increase. What does it prove? It clearly shows that we have no genuine love in our heart for all. We do not sufficiently realise that we are the cause of the world's sorrow. When we realise it, we will cease to trouble the world and the world will then cease to trouble us.
True love cannot be awakened in the heart by preaching ethics and morality to others. When one is in need of it in himself, first one should reform the reformer that is himself. One should light the lamp of love in one's own heart and feed it with intense feeling and profound reverence. Love and compassion, generated in the heart of an enlightened soul, can be a more effective cure for the world's sorrow than all the organised charity, philanthrophy, social work and social reform put together. In this sorrow-ridden world we need more love and compassion which come as a result of the wisdom of self knowledge. Let love, therefore, inspire our actions, let love reign in our hearts and let love lead and guide our lives!
Mind from the light of the Truth-Consciousness, Life from the • energy of the Consciousness-Force, Matter primal substance of
Existence-these things are derived from Spiritual-force. The Mystics had the Vision of the plane of the Truth-Consciousness whose power is inherent in all the living beings; and this power of TruthConsciousness quicken that Manifestation towards which man is progressing in his evolution. And so, manifestation would therefore mean the ascent of man into a higher than his present mental plane of Consciousness.
