The perfection indicated in religion lies only as far away from us as the question of rightly adjusting the focus of a camera.If a camera is out of focus, the photograph will give only a blurred representation of a fairyland, while the same scene photographed by the same camera, well focused and adjusted, gives us the photograph in all its gorgeous beauty and wealth of detail. A mind and intellect, maladjusted and incessantly getting shunted among the ever-rising waves of desires and passions, are not the right instruments to cognise and discover the Truth that lies within itself. He who has come to entertain constantly, at least in one corner of his mind, a continuous awareness of the divine Principle and allows it to influence the rest of his mental field, is the one marked out for progress and growth, both in his life within and his life without.Just as a blue street light adds a blue tinge to the colour of the dresses of all those who pass under it, irrespective of the actual colour of their various dresses, so too, in the blaze of divine Awareness, even criminal thoughts rising in that mind would gather the golden hues of godly perfections.Just as mothballs kept in a wardrobe protect all the clothes kept therein and keep away all the worms, so too, the constant remembrance of the divine nature of the Self, protects the human personality from the destructive worms of its inner negativity.The scriptures, like a true compass, always indicate the right direction.
