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.
