      Mind and Body Are Not Two Things

      Austerities destroy impurities, and with the ensuing perfection in the body and sense organs, physical and mental powers awaken.

      Union with the divine happens through self study.

      Total illumination can be accomplished by surrendering to God.

      Man is like an iceberg: only a part, a minor part is visible on the surface. The main part is hidden beneath. Or, man is like a tree: its real life is in the roots, hidden underground; only the branches are visible. If you cut off the branches, new ones will grow because the branches are not the source; but if you cut off the roots, the tree is destroyed. Only a part of man is visible on the surface, the major part is hidden within. And if you think that the visible man is all, then you make a great mistake. Then you miss the whole mystery of man and you miss the doors within yourself which can lead you towards the divine.

      If you think that by knowing someone’s name, by knowing which family he comes from; by knowing his profession, that he is a doctor or an engineer or a professor; or by knowing his face, his picture, that you have known him, you are in a great illusion. These are just appearances on the surface. The real man is far, far, away from all these appearances. In this way you may be acquainted with him, but you never know the man. It is enough as far as society is concerned, more is not needed. This skin-deep knowledge is enough for the marketplace, but if you really want to know the man, then you have to go deeper. And the only way to
