Probe Within O Man! Whom are you seeking for, without: Step in. He whom you are condemning as the spectre of sin and are eschewing as such, sits hidden within the left-hand cabin of your temple-shrine; whereas he whom you are adoring as the soul of beneficence and whose intimacy you are longing for, lies asleep within the right-hand chamber of your inner shrine. Ring out, therefore, the gong of affection! He whom you are seeking for, will flash forth straightway in your presence!
The Ascetic : The Layman To feed oneself in the interests of renunciation should be the ideal of the ascetic. To feed himself having already renounced something, should be the perspective for the layman. If the ascetic and the layman live keeping this prospect in the centre of their being, asceticism will become the watershed of learning and the layman's way the hermitage of service. Then, the eternal battle between the essential and the insignificant will die down of itself!
