1.The
recognition of one’s innate Divinity, and the regulation of one’s daily
life in accordance with that Truth are the guiding stars for those who
are caught in the currents of strife and struggle. Without that
Self-Knowledge life becomes a farce, a mockery! Acquiring this awareness
of the Self makes life earnest, sweet and fruitful. Many people are
not aware of this noble goal in the pilgrimage of life. They put their
faith in things outside themselves and plan to derive joy from and
through them, and end up experiencing pain and disaster. Know that all
joys spring only from the heart within you. When you experience joy from
worldly objects or people, realize that it is your own joy being
reflected back to you.
2.When
fire rages and gets destructive, you immediately try to put it out by
throwing sand and water, is it not? In most buildings, people keep a
stock of these in readiness. Are you aware that you have six flames
burning inside you? They are lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride and
hatred. They can emerge any time. What do you have in store to put them
out? Always keep a ready stock of Truth, Right Conduct, Peace, Love and
Non-Violence in plenty. These five will help you scotch the flames of
your six enemies, whenever they are lit; these values are very
effective extinguishers.
