STATEMENT OFF THE SOUL ... 18

1. The pure are beautiful. Those sunk in the senses can hardly claim to be so. The infant in its innocence is beautiful. So are the children of the Lord who ever remain unsullied by aught of earth. The Self shines through the perforations of their external form to light up the mansion and bathe it in ethereal beauty.

2. When life throws up this golden chance to go beyond it and be free, why, O man, do you fruitless spend the moments bought so dear?

3. How insane must be man that he is hell-bent on self-destruction! Just a bit of beauty, a little flora, and all will be well, I say.

4. Cast aside all differences and plant trees. Else, differences will soon even up in death. The earth is in fever ; humanity faces extinction.

5. A step today in the right direction will cover the entire span of future evolution.

6. What shall we bequeath to our children? A furnace of an earth? An island world engulfed by the surging waters from the melt of all that was bound and beautiful?

7. Man must mature to his rightful status if he has to save civilisation. Else, extinction looms large as his surest destiny.

8. Dawn rolls on to dusk as life in vain is spent and the helmsman carries us to the other shore. Few, alas! so few do fly past the heavens in the chariot of the gods even unto freedom's end.

9. Rare indeed is a politician with no sense of self-service but with filial devotion to the cause of human good.

10. The machine is replacing human labour, yet, human beings continue to be treated like machines. Time indeed for a radical shift of consciousness and a proper placement of these divinities on earth.
