1.The word Islam means surrender to God. Whoever in a spirit of surrender and dedication, lives in peace and harmony in society, really speaking, belongs to Islam. Islam insists on the unity of thought, word and deed. The fasting and prayers in the month of Ramzan, are designed to awaken and manifest this realisation. In a loving way, Ramzan also brings together kith and kin, those near and far, friend and foe. The emphasis of every religion is on unity, harmony and equanimity. Therefore cultivate love, tolerance and compassion, and demonstrate this Truth by your every action. I give you this message with My blessings.
2.You will be confronted with many Vighnas, or obstacles, in the journey of life. Prayers offered to Vighneswara will help you by removing such obstacles and minimising your problems. Love is the most important aspect in life; it is only love that can unify the world. Absence of love causes hatred, and undermines your human nature. People tend to foster their resentments, which leads to all sorts of problems; they forget the simple path of love. From today give up swaartha (selfishness), turn your mind towards the Parartha (the Supreme); lead a life of Yadaartha (Truth) and sanctify your lives. Place your faith in God and do your duty to the best of your ability. Immerse yourself in God’s love and share it with all. If you earn the love of God even to the slightest extent, you will experience infinite joy.
3.Uttering the truth is easy, but lying is full of problems. One has to take a lot of trouble to cover up one lie with more lies. That is why it has been said: Sathyam brooyath; priyam brooyath; na brooyath sathyam apriyam - ‘speak what is truthful and pleasing and do not mention unkind truths’. God is the embodiment of Truth and Truth is the foundation of the Universe. This Truth is beyond the mind and it transcends space and time. You must live up to this Truth and realise that the Divine is present in everything. Only when you can recognise the omnipresence of the Divine, will you be able to experience God.
4.Our life’s fulfilment lies in Atma-sakshathkara, the realization of Divine Self. To attain this, one must be entirely free from Vasanas, or mental and emotional impulses. Moksha, or liberation, means to be free from the influences of these impulses, which are of two types: beneficent and maleficent. The beneficent tendencies are sacred in nature. The maleficent ones feed the mind and make it unsteady, increasing desires for objective pleasures. If you nurture sacred aspirations (Shubha Vasanas), they will not multiply and influence the mind indefinitely. They are like fried seeds, which will never sprout. If you embrace benign tendencies, you can easily acquire Divine knowledge. You can acquire such liberating qualities by revering and conversing with great Saints, and following their advice; you should also pract ise the five human values
