You would have celebrated many Ugadi (New Year day) festivals in your life. Certain traditional practices go with every festival, such as having a sacred bath, wearing new clothes, cleaning the house and decorating it with buntings of green leaves. Greatness lies in purifying our thoughts, not merely the transient human body. The significance of a festival does not lie in wearing new clothes but in cultivating new and noble thoughts. The house should be decorated not merely with the buntings of green leaves, but with buntings of love. Share your love with everyone who visits your house. Only then would we be celebrating the festival in its true spirit. Today, humanity is stricken with fear and restlessness. Courage and strength are on the decline, because of unsacred thoughts and wicked feelings. Your enemies are not outside. Bad thoughts are your worst enemies and noble thoughts based on Truth are your best friends!
