Calendar is a man-made device.

To embark on a new life, you need not wait for the arrival of a new year. Treat every second as new. Sanctify every moment of your life. The observance of the beginning of a New Year is based on the statements of the almanac maker. Calendar is a man-made device. The sun and the moon remain unchanged. The omnipotent and omnipresent Divine transcends such ideas. Earnestly aspire to realise the unity of Sat (the Divine) and Chit (the individual Consciousness). When this union is achieved, you will experience Ananda (Spiritual Bliss). This is the primary task before everyone. All of you should aspire to achieve that essential purpose of your human birth. You are bound by your own actions in this world. Regard the entire cosmos as a great mansion of the Supreme Lord! Let your actions be good. Be pure in your speech. Develop a sacred vision and purify your hearts.
