1.Develop Love. When we come into this world, it is only love that comes with us. From love arises truth. When love and truth come together, humanness finds its sustenance. The mansion of human life can be built with self-confidence as the foundation, self-satisfaction as the pillar and self-sacrifice as the roof. Only then, can you attain self-realization in this life. You should begin with self-confidence; without it, you cannot have happiness in life. How can one without self-confidence have confidence in others? Do not doubt anything and everything. Doubt endangers life; one who doubts will not achieve anything. Develop faith. Give up all wicked qualities and lead an ideal and blissful life. Humanness finds fulfillment and blossoms only in a pure heart.
2.People adore many deities like Rama, Krishna, Sai, but the Divine Principle in all of them is the same. The Atma (Soul) does not have a form or a name. Brahma Sathyam Jagan Mithya - Divinity alone is real; the world is unreal. God has no attributes. He does not punish or harm anybody. He is present in your heart in the form of pure and unsullied love. Therefore develop love more and more. That will protect you always. There is no greater protection than this; there is no weapon more powerful than love.
3.Every one of you will attain fullness in the end. You are at present at a particular stage as a result of the acts performed during your previous lives and the feelings you entertained in the past. The future is being built this very moment by the activities you are engaging in and the feelings that urge and shape them. A scholar might write elaborate commentaries on the Gita. But as a result of all that study, if in his character and conduct, he does not prove that the Gita has become a living part of him, all that punditry is but a burden he is carrying. So, never treat the learning you derive as so much fodder for the brain. It must be sublimated into Ananda (bliss). Envy, pompousness, egoism — all such evil traits have to be driven out.
4.If workers are ordered to dig the soil, their work is simply to go on digging. The gardener alone knows how much of the earth is to be put under which plant and how it must be arranged. So too, the order to you is “Constantly dwell on the Lord’s Name”! If you continue to do this, God Himself will direct where and how this has to be utilised.
