Chapter-15
The Supreme Person
But, even if a man attains this knowledge and possesses keen intellect, to penetrate through atom and becomes proficient in all lores, but is lacking in non-attachment, he will not attain to Me, the all-pervading one. Even if he talks glibly about discrimination, but at the same time entertains thoughts of sense-objects in his mind, he will definitely not attain to Me. By repeating in sleep, the texts read by him, will he be able to break the bonds of worldly existence? Can one be said to have read a book, if he merely touches it? Or if one’s eyes are bandaged, will one be able to assess the worth of a set of pearls, by putting it to one’s nose (391-395)? In that way, even if one has all the scriptures at the tip of one’s tongue, one will never attain to Me, so long as one’s heart is full of egoism. Now, I shall explain how, though single, I pervade the whole universe. |
