What is Knowledge : Ch-4. Part-20.

Chapter 4 : Yoga – An Integration of Consciousness-20.

A friend is one who thinks exactly as you think.

If he thinks in a different way, to that extent the friendship is conditioned.

Unconditioned friendship is a unity of thoughts into a single operation of the psyche.



Likewise, we may say that our friendly attitude towards the world –

or any object whatsoever,

if we think it is worthwhile in any way –

would require an endeavour to think as the world perhaps would expect us to think in relation to it,

as a particle or an atom would expect us to develop an attitude towards it.



The world no more remains as an object of experimentation and observation;

the world is there as our protector,

our father, our mother, our friend, philosopher and guide –

our own self, in an awakened state.
