Ananda Vacanamrtam (Parts 13 & 14)

About the Book "And in the field of science, what is known to be the most developed subject - applied psychology - has not been really cultivated. As a consequence the number of insane people has increased in most of the countries of the world. We have not been able to bring these people under proper medical treatment; we have not given them proper love and affection, for we followed the path of analysis, not the path of synthesis. During the long 15,000-year-old course of human civilization, we have followed only occasionally, and for short periods, the path of synthesis. Most of the time, by following the path of analysis and neglect, we have lost the great opportunity to build a noble society. Human beings, by their inborn instinct, have love for beautiful and subtle things. They appreciate and seek to cultivate what is beautiful and subtle in their internal and external lives, and in the world of ideas. This love for art is the fundament of the aesthetic science (nandana vijinana). Yet we have shattered this science of aesthetics by stamping doctrines upon it."

"Now, in each and every human being there is sleeping divinity, divinity in latent form, divinity in dormant form. And when that sleeping divinity will be aroused, will be out of sleep; will be in a wakeful stage, what will happen? A man will acquire immense power. He will be omniscient, that is, all-knowing - he will know everything, without going through any book, without going through any library - he will be knowing everything of this universe, because he is one with Parama Purusa... It is sleeping, and when it will be aroused, will be elevated by dint of your sadhana, by dint of your dhyana, it will go upwards; and when it will come here, that is, touches the controlling point of the pineal gland, one will become one with Parama Purusa. One will become Parama Purusa... Now, just to raise the coiled serpentine, your sleeping divinity, you have to fight against so many fetters, so many fetters of animality, so it is a fight, and this should be represented by the sound hummm."
