________________ Primary Urge The discourse of a preacher can take effective root only when the primary urge for self-development exists deep within a disciple's own being, be it even in an infinitesimal form. Then would that tiny seed of inner longing invariably sprout forth into a blossom. The Mind Your mind is, indeed, your true paradise, even as your mind is, indeed, your real hell. The mind that has blossomed forth under the light of thoughts benign, effuses the beatitude of paradise; whereas, the mind that is imprisoned within the womb of heinous thoughts, engenders only the bleak agony of hell. Remember, therefore, your mind alone is the true begetter of what you signify by hell or heaven. Abject of the Abject The man who bids good-bye to truth, disregarding the voice of his conscience in deference to the blind dictates of a caste or community, of a sect or a preceptor, is neither a sage nor a savant nor even a sycophant, but the most abject of all abject beings. 18
