HUMANITY AND LOVE

1. One can not achieve anything in life without getting rid of ego and attachment. Anything can be achieved by humilityand good conduct. One should conduct oneself with devotion in all fields of life - moral, spiritual, physical and political. Only then can one realise one's objective in life.

2. Spend your wealth only for promotion of Dharma, hold it in trust for divine activities only. Be careful in spending money. Curtail your wants, minimise your expense, Discard every habit that weakens you while impoverishing you. When you seek to acquire anything or join any company, try to discover how they will affect your life. Regard money as precious as blood, as holy as the gift of God. Earn it by truth and righteousness. Use it for promoting peace and love.

3. When you respect an individual, he will respect you in turn. But when you respect and love everyone, God Himself will respect you and love you. If you want to be respected and loved by god, you should respect and love everyone.

4. We must rise to the level which is beyond the senses. Only then can we lead a sacred life. Today youth are below the senses and are becoming a slave of their senses. One must become a Master of the Senses, not merely the Master of Science. Senses are our servants. We should not become a slave of our servants.

5. When you keep a watch on your words, actions, thoughts, character and heart, then this becomes your real watch, not the one you tie on your wrist. The wrist watch may wear out, but not the ideals indicated by the word 'watch'. They will always bring purity of thought, word and deed. How great is this word. Such noble words must be ingested and internalised. In this way, our ancient forefathers taught sacred truths and made the people ideal and noble.

6. Students today are pursuing only worldly education. Mere secular education is not good enought, it must be supplemented with spiritual education. One must develop the principle of love and must follow the path of truth. True education is that which is suffused with truth and love. Without truth and love, education is ineffective and devoid of value. Secular education is for making a living, whereas spiritual education is for attaining the the goal of life. A harmonious blend of secular and spiritual education is ideally suited to the present day world.
