Discourses-----Day 35
December 6, 1941
As the topic of democracy was raised, Thakur said, “Look at this body system of ours. Every organ is helping
every other. As deficiency sets in in a certain organ, others go to work to
make it up. Each one’s existence depends on the others, and all organs,
separately and jointly, are trying constantly to nourish the brain, the best
organ, the representative of the whole as it were. The brain is doing Guru’s
work. The brain is giving the impulse and is guiding everyone. This is
essential also for the structure of a real society. Without this no
organization can grow. It crumbles away. Try to understand what is right : vox
populi vox dei ; or vox expletory, vox dei. Wailing out of suffering creates an
atmosphere ; this incantation grabs a good pair of brains, the soul of the
saviour there comes down, a zygote lying amidst placenta and chord begins to
grow. To use the mythological expressions, Narayana is lying in the sea of
nectar, Lakshmi is stroking his feet, he becomes awake on the day of his birth,
and the ting lings of his greatness become evident from that very day. Such a
man is the life and brain of the Nation.”
