- Instrument
Though man is an instrument in His hand, His Will has to work through him!
Hence, little man deservedly shares God's glory.
Krishna readily admits this one.
Often we find this principle violated in human institutions.
The boss is the power behind all activities - but without the staff his ideas will be still-born.
The instrument must be glorified too, else, it is ingratitude and a disruptive influence.
- Traffic
When you listen to a discourse, do not think - let it be one-way traffic.
If there is two-way traffic, you may have a jam.
Too much strain - you may feel tired.
- Atomic Energy
"The nucleus is full of protons which are electrically positive and which ought therefore to repel one another with enormous force. Somehow these electrical forces are held in check - an unknown binding energy which we do not understand welds the protons and the neutrons into a single stable kernel"
There is an electrical attraction between the positive nucleus and the negative electrons.
- Man, Centre of Creation
This is what we have forgotten - as Pope has said: "The proper study of man is Man."
In Man, too, God is the centre of his being.
If he is harmonised here, he is in harmony with the world and he promotes harmony.
If there is a discordant note within his own heart, he sows the seed of discord everywhere.
- Grocers and assistants
Krishna and Christ are like grocers. They give their lists.
We are like the assistants - whether we start from the top, the bottom or the middle - if we carry on, we shall eventually do all.
