The Vedas say, “Mathru devo bhava: Revere your Mother as God.” You must revere your mother, who has brought you up with love, care and sacrifice. If one’s heart is so hard that it does not melt at the pleadings of their mother, it deserves nothing but ridicule. Always, always, love and respect your mother, your motherland, your mother-tongue and follow its culture. Never develop hatred against others, their languages or culture. Nourish and enrich your mother-tongue and motherland with all your energy and progress as much as you can, without any hesitation. Keep yourself fit for this by making the best use of all available opportunities. Develop your character as well as intelligence and health. The most reliable source of strength is within you, not in money, kinsmen, or physical acumen, but in yourself - the Soul (Atman). Know it, delve into it, draw sustenance from it, and then see it in all and serve it in all.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
