Circle of Good Will - The World Teacher Trust

so many millions do it, not because he demanded, butbecause they feel in their heart to do so. There is a lotof difference between the work of the heart and thework of the mind. The work of the heart is eternal.The work of the mind suffers mortality. The teachingscoming from the great Masters, they all come from theheart and hence they remain immortal. Novels andother books that we produce are from our mind. Thosebooks which came out in the18th or 19th century, wedon’t care about any more, but the scriptures survivecenturies. What is the difference? We are in the area ofheart, area of love. Heart has the ability to permeate,mind has no such ability.There is another story in the scriptures. To LordShiva there are two sons, one is Jupiterian, the otheris Martian. The Jupiterian one does not move, he sitsprettily in himself. He is very stout, very heavy, andhe has a very small vehicle, a rat. Imagine an elephantsitting on a rat and moving; it is very unimpressive anddoes not look very elegant. But no one knows how deephe is. Then there is the other son, a Martian; he is fullof power, very elegant, and he looks very brilliant. Hemoves by the flying bird, the peacock. As he has a rodof power, no one can fight with him. No Deva can fightwith him, no demon can fight with him. He is very swiftin his movements and very much admired by the Devas.Once there was a task to form the sounds, group themand enable the creation to happen with the help ofsounds. At that time there was only one sound: OM.So one had to conceive many sounds out of OMand prepare groups of sounds so that there can bemanifestation of planes of existence and also formationof planets. It is all the work of sound.The Devas approached Lord Shiva and said, “Pleaseentrust this task to anyone whom you think fit betweenyour two sons.” The Father looked at his two sons. Thefirst one was silent. The second one said, “Father, giveit to me, I will do it.” He talked too much. People, whoare shallow, talk hastily, whereas people, who are deep,have the last word. They can wait. When the youngerbrother said, “I shall take up the task and do it”, thefather looked at the first son and said, “What do yousay?” The first son said, “Thy will be done. You knowbetter, who should do it, you decide, don’t ask me.”Then the second brother, the Martian, argued with hisfather and said, “Dad, you know the elder brother, heis not so active, I don’t think he can do it. You knowme, how much I have already done, better give it tome.” Then the father smiled and said, “I will giveanother task to both of you. Whoever completes it firstshall be given the task of arranging the sounds.” TheMartian one said, “What is it?” Then the Lord said,“There are etheric flows of waters in the cosmos. Bothof you shall have to go and take a dip in every stream66 67
