The world is full of many wonders; incredible works of art and
architecture, of science and invention, but the greatest of them all by far
is the human mind. *It is the mind's play that brings about all activity in
the human world.* The outline of everything people construct is first formed
in the mind and then filled in with matter to assume a concrete shape.
History, science, culture, trade and commerce, in fact all knowledge and
systems of our day-to-day world, are but the projection and fulfillment of
thoughts born in the mind. *If the mind, by concentrating itself on matter,
can bring about such wonders and attain such miraculous physical powers as
we have, what can it not attain if it concentrates on itself and on the
Supreme!*
Disorder and tension on the individual level and as a result on the social
level are the result of ignorance of the self and the world around, such
that the mind stays without rest. It runs, jumps and churns aimlessly,
lashed by waves of feelings and emotions. Like a spider caught in its own
web, the individual becomes entangled in nets which are the consequences
(results) of this ignorance of the self and the fundamentals of life. *When
we receive spiritual knowledge from the seed of the tree of humanity, the
Supreme Being or God at the present time*, we begin an upward journey that
takes us through deeper and deeper levels of understanding and experience
which create freedom from these nets. This freedom, as a result helps us
create a positive future, not only for ourselves but we also take up the
responsibility of creating the same for the complete tree of humanity, which
is primarily the purpose why God shares this knowledge with us.
