THE BASIC PROBLEM
fresh breeze of the morning would reach his house. Then there will no more be darkness, dampness or foul smell. This is exactly what happens with man in the spiritual sense. Man keeps closed all the sources of spiritual light withịn his soul. He keeps himself bound in the fetters of materialism and selfishness. This generates in his heart darkness, dampness and foul smell. And the strange thing is that he complains against those very bonds and snares which he has himself woven around him and which have thrown him in that spiritual darkness. This is indeed a hard situation.
New Temples and New Mosques
Today Allah has been closed down within the mosque and Brahma has been locked within the temple. Both of them are awaiting to be taken out of their captivity. Therefore what is needed today is to discover a new kind of temple and a new kind of mosque. This new temple and this new mosque exists within man's own soul. Let the priests and adorers throw open the temples and mosques of their own soul. Let Allah or God enter the heart of man and show the path of liberation, enlightenment and salvation,
A Word to the Philosophers
lịnvite the philsophers of the world to read the book of life. Let them read the life of the common man. There they will find hunger, poverty and want. Before proceeding to solve the intricate mysteries of God and the universe, let us solve these basic problems of the common man. Nothing real can be gained by the hair-splitting analysis of metaphysical problems and propositions, if we ignore the basic problems of life. Let us begin with life and not with metaphysics.
