Discussion-11. "A  man's  perfection..... his  self-hood..."

"A  man  of  perfection : -  is  he  who  has  ended  his  ego  and  has  come  to  discover  his * Self-hood."


"When  the  needle  is  off  from  the  'record'  in  a  gramophone-box,  even  if  it  is  playing  upon  the  disc,  it  cannot  anymore  give  out  even  a  single  note  of  its  song-of-joy  or  cry  of  pain."


"Similarly,  whenever  be  the  past  actions  and  their  consequent  reactions  registered  upon  a  given  mental  equipment,  unless  the  mental  instrument  as  such  is  in  contact  with  the  false ego-needle,  it  cannot  act  upon  the  individual." 

Next : Discussion-12. "He goes  beyond  sin" 
To be continued  ..
