Head - necessary in every domain

02/25/2010

Symbolically, the father represents the head of the family, and so in principle everything revolves around him. He is the one responsible for keeping the family together. If the family members are not connected to the head, not in harmony with it, or if the head goes away or is not up to its task, everything breaks down, and the family collapses. It is the same with a country: if the head does not play its part or disappears, there is havoc. Even bandits, even animals have understood this, and they look for a head to lead them. Then, why have so-called intelligent people not understood that in the spiritual life, too, a head, a master, is necessary, in fact essential? Whether this master is alive or dead, he is the head that maintains the unity of their inner life.
