Additional information

Bengal kino

Three kinds of men in this world, who are like three kinds of trees: the dhak1, the mango and the bread-fruit. The dhak tree bears flowers. It is like the man who only speaks. The mango tree has both flowers and fruits. It is like a man who both speaks and acts. The bread-fruit tree bears only fruit. It is like the man who speaks not but acts.

Supramental Realisation

...nobody can have the supramental realisation who has not had the spiritual.... He must want the divine Will first and the soul's surrender and spiritual realisation
