YOUTH
-
Serve the
society, help the poor and the needy. When you involve yourself in such
sacred activities, your body will remain young for any length of time.
Many foreigners ask Me, " Swami, how come you look so energetic even at
the age of 75? ". I tell them that the 3 P's in Me are responsible
for this. They are
-
Purity
-
Patience
-
Perseverance
If you develop
these 3 virtues, you too will remain young and energetic
FAITH
-
There are
three important things that one has to bear in mind.
-
The first,
Once it comes will not go away i.e., WISDOM
-
The second,
Once it goes will not come back i.e., IGNORANCE
-
The third,
It neither comes nor goes i.e., BRAHMAN
Your faith
also should be such that it should be steady, it should not come and go.
But the faith of modern students keep vacillating. Such faith is no faith
at all
HEART
-
Follow the
heart, which is the source of all noble qualities like Truth, Righteousness,
Peace, Love and Non-Violence. here we find many bulbs glowing in
this Hall. How ? Current flows through the wire, enters the bulb and gives
us light. Likewise, when Truth flows through the wire of righteousness
and enters the bulb of Peace, we get Love.
DEVOTEE
-
The Vedas
declare :Easwara Sarva Bhutanam (
God is the indweller of all beings).
But,
unfortunately, people are unable to realize this truth. You should have
firm conviction that every human body is the temple of God. do not hate
or hurt anybody. One who has realized the truth that God exists in all
is as true devotee. How can you call yourself a devotee if you hurt others'
feelings and indulge i criticizing and slander ? Criticizing others amounts
to criticizing God Himself.
NEW YEAR
-
When New
Year begins, people start speculating as to what the new year has in store
for them and also for the world at large. The future of the world depends
on actions of man, not on the new year. Actions depend on the mind, the
mind on the thoughts. As are thoughts, so is the action. Hence, for the
world to bepeaceful and prosperous, man should foster truthful thoughts.
SERVICE
-
One who undertakes sacred actions excels everyone. That is why I often exhort you to undertake service activities. You are born and brought up in the society. You owe your education, wealth and happiness to the society. Then is it not your bounden duty to show your gratitude to the society? You can express gratitude to the society by undertaking service activities. Serve one and all because God is present in everybody
KARMA
-
Man is bound to face the consequences of his actions, be they good or bad, small or big. It is most essentials for man to understand this truth and act accordingly. Before undertaking any action, enquire whether it is good or bad, right or wrong. Do not act in haste. Haste makes waste, waste makes worry. So do not be in a hurry.
