bad, him who stumbles less we call good... The difference is not one
of kind, but of degree.
In spite of the greatness of the Upanishads, in spite of our boasted
ancestry of sages, compared to many other races, I must tell you that
we are weak, very weak. First of all is our physical weakness. That
physical weakness is the cause of at least one-third of our miseries.
Do you know how much energy, how many powers, how many forces are
still lurking behind that frame of yours? What scientist has known all
that is in man? Millions of years have passed since man first came
here, and yet but one infinitesimal part of his powers has been
manifested. Therefore, you must not say that you are weak. How do you
know what possibilities lie behind that degradation on the surface? You
know but little of that which is within you. For behind you is the
ocean of infinite power and blessedness.
