Of all the delusions that hold sway over man, that which makes for his greatest
undoing is the sex craving. This crude animal impulse in the body is like fire. If
controlled, it will serve man like fire. Uncontrolled, like fire again, it will destroy
and devastate completely.
The Prime source of the universe is the
Supreme Substance, one and only Reality, abiding forever. It splits into the transitory
many and manifests itself as the diverse objects, which make up the world. The diversified
many are ceaselessly striving to become one again. These are the forces of attraction
which scientists explore and explain. The attachments, which govern man, are also the same
unifying force.
Wind and water, various liquids and solids
have split into many forms from the primal Reality; and are subject to the drive to regain
unity. The dried up plants, grass and shrubs in the forest and the oxygen everywhere are
waiting to combine again. At a favourable opportunity, these come together and the forest
is enveloped by fire. Life is the process of the recombination of many things that have
separated. |
