We don’t want God nor do we cultivate devotion. But we want God to shower peace and divine bliss on us. If we want peace, we should conduct our life on lines conducive to peace. How can a person pursuing evil, unrighteous ways, ever obtain peace, truth and joy? Can we have the belch of a gourd by eating mangoes? As are the deeds, so are the rewards. As the motives, so are the gifts of God. Hence our motives should be sublime and deeds should be righteous. Students should try to develop powers latent in them. The educated men of today believe in what they read in novels and newspapers, what they see in films, and even in the whimsical words of a passerby. But they have no faith in God. This is a great misfortune. Men who believe in the words of an astrologer or a purohit, don’t trust the words of the Veda Mata, who taught four great truths: "Tat twam asi, Prajnanam Brahma, Aham Brahmasmi, Ayam Aatma Brahma" (Thou art That, Knowledge is Divine, I am Divine, This Self is the Omni-Self)!
