1.Education sans wisdom, wisdom bereft of discrimination, action without discretion, erudition lacking sagacity, power not justified by credentials, statements not based on truth, music wanting in melody, adoration not sustained by devotion, an individual devoid of common sense and character, a student not endowed with humility - these serve no useful purpose. In addition to knowledge derived from the sacred texts, one should earn wisdom through experience. Knowledge without personal experience is futile.
2.If you follow Truth right from this very day, you will certainly become an ideal to the entire country. What is Truth? God's word is Truth. Hence, when you speak and act with the feeling Sarva Karma Bhagavad Preetyartham (All actions are meant only to please God), everything will become Truth. Every thought and feeling emanating from you is a reflection of your inner truth. Unfortunately it gets converted into falsehood by the improper use of the tongue. The tongue is one of the five senses. The senses are the cause of changes in us; they are responsible for the sin or merit we earn. Himsa (violence) is not just limited to harming or hurting others; in fact acting contrary to one's words is also violence. Remember this always: There can be no greater practice of Non-violence than using our tongue in a sacred man ner.
3.The Divine is the only kith and kin of the Yogis (spiritually advanced souls); they know no other. They do not entertain any other urge, attachment, or desire. God is their all in all. They are not affected by grief or joy, failure or success; they experience only one unbroken and unchallenged stream of bliss. For those firmly established in this state, the world and its ups and downs appear trivial and illusory; they counter the pulls of the senses and face the fascinations of the world without any agitation of their minds. They are also vigilant against the temptations held before them by the senses, and turning them aside, they approach the Divine and seek strength and solace from Him. Their actions, thoughts, and words reveal the vision they have experienced; this is the Paramartha Drishti, the Supra Vision, where all the five elements are present as the Divine itself and all beings - ma n, beast, bird, and worm are emanations from God and therefore fully Divine.
4.Everything in this world is ephemeral and transitory; it is here today but may not be here tomorrow. So, if you want to crave something wholeheartedly, seek the Lord, who has no decline. In this transitory life, joy and pain are also perforce temporary. The self-same Lord gives and takes as and when He wishes. Everything is His, so how foolish it is to lament when things belonging to Him are taken back by Him! Therefore, the wise person doesn’t pine over anyone or feel undue attachment to anything. Let all the pining and all the attachment be for the Lord; He alone is eternal, the source of all joy. Love a person as a person, not more. If you love them more, it is a sign that you have been deceived about their real nature. You can behave only for a short time as if the house you have rented is your own! For, as soon as the lease period is over, it passes on to another.
