This flower is beautiful; it gives an exciting, enchanting fragrance, declares the eye and the nose. The wise man will not be content with the sense-impression. He resorts to the buddhi (intellect) and wants to discover - How long? How much? The answer is - until nightfall, till the new day dawns. Therefore he concludes that true beauty and true fragrance can be derived only from God, not from created things and components, not from the moving and changing, the emerging and merging, the appearing, attracting and disappearing entities of the world. Man is now riding two horses - the world and God, the Universal and the Particular, the Absolute and the Relative, the Eternal and the Time-bound, the Reality and the Appearance. He is therefore riding for a fall. Sadhana alone can help man to choose the right path and pursue it relentlessly. Every religion in every era and clime emphasises the One and marks out the path to reach it. They warn us against too much attachment to the world, which is basically poisonous.
