People today are accumulating sin due to the misuse of their senses and everyone is filled with unlimited desires.
People appear to speak sweetly, but their minds are full of bitterness.
What is the purpose of human birth ? Who is a human being ?
Human being is the embodiment of Divinity.
Man has taken birth not to raise a family or fill his belly but to redeem his life.
If he acts contrary to this, he loses his human-ness. Human beings become divine when they free themselves from desires.
If one takes to a wrong path, how can one be called a human being ? That is why it is hard to find a true human being today anywhere.
Where there is truth and righteousness, peace will come there automatically.
Love can develop only in peace. Where there is love, violence cannot exist.
Therefore, if you want to have peace, primarily develop love. If you want to have love, adhere to truth.
There is an element of untruth in Man. Today, man resorts to untruth even in small matters. On top of it, he is full of anger. Anger completely eclipses truth in man.
Wherever we look in this world, we do not find even a trace of peace anywhere.
Where is peace?
Peace is only within us. It is there in our speech and in our heart. It cannot be found outside.
First and foremost, we should make our heart steady and peaceful.
We find only conflicts wherever we look in this world. Even intimate friends who have love for each other quarrel on trivial issues. In fact, one cannot find a true friend in this world.
Evil qualities of our heart are responsible for these conflicts. Therefore, make your heart pure — not the physical heart but the spiritual heart. There should not be even a trace of impurity in it.
People today are accumulating a lot of money.
But what for ?
What will they take with them when they die?
They have to go empty-handed. They have to leave even their body here when they go.
Therefore, do not be proud of the body or wealth.
All worldly things are like passing clouds, which come and go.To feel proud of these passing clouds is a great mistake.
Money comes and Goes ; Morality comes and Grows. Develop morality.
In spite of their high education, people today have lost their morality. One bereft of morality is not a human being at all.
In fact, one is a demon in human form.
Where there is no morality, there can be no human-ness.
Only God can give you true happiness.There is nobody in this world who can give you happiness except God.
God alone protects you in every way. Always contemplate on Him.
You will be free from all sorrows when you constantly contemplate on God.
