About This Quote
Truth is the world and falseness is man who lives within his mind world which has copied the world of Truth. Therefore, man must cleanse and discard his mind. He must become “poor in spirit†in order to go to the real world that is heaven. This quote by Sri Mahaprabhu should be enough for one to understand the true meaning of life.
The first truth should be that this world is a copy of other worlds. We know that there are other worlds because we have experienced them by taking birth in them under different names. The second truth should be that our mind is a copy of other minds, just as this world is a copy of the other worlds.
Our original mind was pure, but it has been contaminated by our past actions. Our present mind will have to be purified by our actions in this life, but our future mind can never be contaminated because it will be pure at all times. By living only in the present moment, one can release himself from this cycle of birth and death by becoming pure spirit, or “poor in spiritâ€.
