1. There are many forms and branches of knowledge and there are many educated persons in the world. But education without intelligence is of little use. What is the meaning of Vidya (Education) ? Vidya does not mean bookish knowledge; it implies knowledge that come from the heart. It is eternal and changeless. Vidya connotes the knowledge of self; it is not mere secular education. Atma Vidya (Knowledge of the Self) is true knowledge.
2. In life you should face difficulties with courage reposing faith in God. If you constantly contemplate of God, no other thoughts will trouble you. Sorrows and difficulties will not effect you. You should always be happy. Happiness is union with God. You may have some physical pain or suffering or mental anxiety; but if you are firmly established in the Atma Tattwa (Principle of the Self) you will not be bothered by them.
3. Our karmas (actions) are responsible for the happiness and sorrow we experience in life. When we perform good actions, we get good results. Bad actions have bad results. Therefore, cultivate good thoughts and undertake good actions.
4. Be good, do good and see good, this is the way to God.
