chapter two 77
(superconsciousness), you learn to gather the multiple rays of the mind and allow them to ow uninterruptedly towards the Divine Self.
The mind in most people is scattered over the transient objects of the world. Numerous thoughts rise and fall in the lake of the mind. People are perpetually involved in the thoughts of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. They are unaware of the immense joy that arises when the mind has been freed from its restless thoughts, and like a tranquil lake, it re ects the majesty of the Divine Self.
When you learn the art of withdrawing the mind from the world-process and directing it towards God, you experience immense joy. The thoughts arising in
such a mind are most powerful and promote peace, prosperity and harmony in the world, inspiring humanity for many centuries to come.

As a man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, robbers attacked him and grabbed everything he had. They beat him up and ran off, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road.
