a natural bloom on your cheeks and you are in high spirits; your very steps as you walk or even climb up a hill have a natural springy bounce in them and when you speak, you express yourself vigorously. These are all symptoms of an inner glow of good health. But what happens when this is replaced by some bodily illness? Your work becomes unsprightly, if you have to climb up a hill you soon become breathless, and limp on with a hand at the waist, your words lack sparkle, your entire attitude becomes lackadaisical.
The “borrowed perfection” or completeness I mentioned earlier, is a kind of disease; whether it be the perfection you feel you have attained through power and prestige, or through material prosperity or through your status in society.
Then what lies within: Within yourself you are the King of kings, the supreme judge and law-giver. But most people have never known or have forgotten the very existence of this supreme law-giver within themselves. The very aim of this discourse is to make you aware of or make you feel anew, the presence of this being within yourselves. I would go a step further and say that this is the ultimate aim of all the sermons and discourses of all the saints and sages
