पृथ्वी रेणुरणुः पयांसि कणिकाः फल्गुः स्फुलिङ्गो लघु-
स्तेजो निःश्वसनं मरुत्तनुतरं रन्ध्र सुसूक्ष्म नमः।
क्षुद्रा रुद्रपितामहप्रभृतयः कीटाः समस्ताः सुरा
दृष्टा यत्र स तारको विजयते श्रीपादधूलीकणः ॥१९

 

The feet whose dust-particle makes the earth look like a little particle of dust, Water seems to be just a small drop, Fire seems to be an insignificantly small spark, Wind seems to be a soft breath. Sky looks a minute hole, Gods like Siva, Brahma etc. seem like the smallest of insects, Victory be to the dust-particle of those beautiful feet.19

On Thought – Introduction

 

LLE. MOLITOR has very kindly asked me to say a few words on thought.

Since you have been good enough to come and listen to me today, I conclude that you are among those who, knowing the primary importance of thought, its master-role in life, strive to build up for themselves an ever stronger and more conscious thought.

So I hope you will excuse me if, while showing you what this primary importance of thought is, I venture to give you — to give us — some advice on learning how to think well.

In this, I shall act only as an interpreter for you on behalf of the great instructors, the great initiates who have come from age to age to bring to men their words of wisdom and peace.

But before translating for you as best I can their beautiful teachings on the rational, effective and just use of the marvellous faculty in us which is thought, it seems to me indispensable that we should first of all enquire a little into what thought is.
