Text 7] Purusa-siikta Confirmed 279
accepts himself as all in all, and does not develop Cod consciousness. As
such, the false sense of egoism (namely myself and mine) has become
overly prominent in the world, and there is a hard struggle for existence in
the human society. The intelligent class of men, therefore, must admit the
Lord as the ultimate source of all energies and thus pay tribute to the Lord
for His good blessings. Simply by accepting the Lord as the supreme pro-
prietor of everything, as He is actually so, one can achieve the highest
perfection of life. Whatever a person may be in the estimation of the
social order of things, if a person tries to reciprocate a feeling of love
towards the Supreme Personality of Godhead and is satisfied with the
blessings of the Lord, he will at once feel the highest peace of mind for
which he is hankering life after life. Peace of mind, or in other words the
healthy state of mind, can only be achieved when the mind is situated in
the transcendental loving service of the Lord. The parts and parcels of the
Lord are endowed with specific powers for rendering service unto the
Lord, just as a big business magnate’s sons are empowered with specific
powers of administration. The obedient son of the father never goes
against the will of the father and therefore passes life very peacefully in
concurrence with the head of the family, the father. Similarly, the Lord
being the father, all living beings should fully and satisfactorily discharge
the duty and will of the father, as faithful sons. This very mentality will at
once bring peace and prosperity to the human society.
