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.

LOVE FOR GOD
1. One cannot achieve anything in life without getting rid of ego and attachment. Anything can be achieved by humility and good conduct. One should conduct oneself with devotion in all fields of life - moral, spiritual, physical and political. Only then one can realise one's objective in life.
2. Do not think that God is somewhere away from you. He will not go anywhere. He will not foresake you. God is immanent in you. He is always in you, with you and around you. Hold on this truth firmly and lead a happy life. When you are alone, think "God is with me". Have firm faith "I am not alone; both God and I are together. " Develop this faith from now iteself. Then you will have no worries and trouble.
3. All should life in unity. What is the inner meaning of HINDU. H stands for humility, I for individuality, N for nationality, D for divinity and U for unity. Today man on his own considers himself great; but he cannot be called great if he lacks humanness. A real human being is one who understands the meaning of humanness and manifests it in his conduct.
4. Make your life as a human being worthwhile. True humanness is attained only by developing love. Consider love as your main life principle. Then the evil qualities of desire, hatred, jealousy can not even touch you. Money comes and goes whereas morality comes and grows; therefore promote morality.
5. There is no God higher than the Mother. The mother has the position of foremost importance in one's life. One should therefore never forget one's mother. One who forgets his mother has to face difficulties. Women should be loved and respected. There should be shown proper gratitude. Only then can man and woman attain a high status in society.
6. Every human being lives by love alone. One who has no love in him is not a human being at all. The love that exists between God and man is like that between father and son. Every one has love for God. When man recognises the truth of his divine nature, there will be no differences in human society. We should therefore recognise the divity that is immanent in one and all. This will bring an end to all differences between man and man.

DIVINITY AND MAN
1. There is no need for man to seach for GOD anywhere. God is present is each and every human being. Lord Krishna says in Bhagwad Gita "All are an aspect of my Divinity". Where then would you search for God when HE is in you and with you. Whatever work you do, consider it the work of God.
2. God has blessed man with body, mind and intellect. Human beings are endowed with a healthy body, strong mind and shart intellect capable of deep thinking; but they are misusing them. Instead of thinking of God and making proper use of their limbs, they are misusing their senses. Try to see all that is good. Hearing the criticism of others and seeing all that is evil is a sin. Try to listen to good words with our ears. Man has given us tongue to sing the glories of God. Chant the name of God. Let others also hear it and redeem their life.
3. Be courteous to poor and help them. Provide help and means of treatment to those who suffer from some ailment. Extend a helping hand to those who are weak and are unable to walk. When we teach others the value of Service after putting into practice in our life it will create awareness in others.
4. God is the embodiment of love. He protects the mankind by HIS love. Draw everybody close to you with love, then you will attain proximity to God. When you look at others with love God will also look at you with love. When you treat others with love they will also show love towards you. Some show great love for outsiders but do now show the same love towards their mother and father in the house. First and foremost love your parents and then other people.
5. Do not allow anger to overpower you. Charity and kindness are an important part of righteousness. Remember:
There is no charity greater then feeding the hungry;
There are no greater gods than parents;
There is greater Dharma than compassion;
There is no greater gain than the company of the good; and
There is no enemy greater than anger.

Human Values is Essential for World Peace
1. A man has two types of qualities - internal and external. Evil qualities like desire, anger, greed, delusion, pride and jealousy are external, while values such as truch, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence are internal. Man should internalise his vsion and develop vision of the Self.
2. Where there are truth and righteousness, there will be peace. When we have peace, love will flow within us. Then there will be no room for violence in us. Man should put is his best efforts to develop his innate human qualities. Truth is eternal and indestructible. It is neither born nor does it die. When you adhere to truth, you will lead the right path.
3. What you feel in your heart, you should speak with your tongue. When you speak with your tongue, you should put into action. Man should broaden his heart. First and foremost, develop truth in your heart and establish it firmly. When you plant truth in your heart, offshoots of Dharma will issue from it. With the growth of Dharma, you will attain peace. When you have peace. your love will become broad and universal. Then the difference of mine and thine will disappear and love will reign supreme everywhere. As a result, violence will disappear from the face of the earth.
4. To be born is a worry, to be on the earth is a worry; world is a cause of worry and death too; entire childhood is a worry and so is the old age; life is a worry, failure is a worry; all actions and difficulties cause worry; even happiness too is a mysterious worry. Devotion to God alone will put an end to all your worries. Develop such devotion and love in God.
5. Develop love for God to get rid of your worries. This is the divine cure for all your worries. Chanting the name of God can bring all types of worries to an end.
