Chapter 10
As electric current, works our radio but an ignorant person may regard the sound coming only from the radio, without attaching any importance to the electric current, while a person having knowledge of it knows, that the radio works by electric power. Similarly, an ignorant person, may regard the speciality of a person and an object as theirs, but a wise man treats it as, the Lord's.
In the eighth verse of this chapter, the Lord declared that, He is the source of all the creation and from him all things evolve. It means, that whatever glory, brilliance, power or any other speciality, is seen, is of the Lord. Once, a saint heard a prostitute singing a song with a melodious voice. He cried, "Oh! What a melody bestowed upon her, by the Lord!" Thus the saint instead of paying attention to the prostitute, paid attention to the glory, of the Lord. Therefore, wherever any beauty, excellence, quality or speciality appears, should be regarded as that of the Lord. But it does not mean, that we should not feel thankful, to those who have done good to us, with their qualities. We should be grateful to them, and we should render service, to them. But we should not get entangled in the world, by regarding these as belonging to them.
An Important Fact
While describing His divine glories, from the twentieth verse to the thirty-ninth verse, the Lord has used the term 'Asmi' (I), several times, to lay emphasis on the fact, that He is the origin of all divine glories.
