Every man, irrespective of the country,
race or period of time in which he is born,
comes into the world burdened with three debts.
The first debt is owed to the Divine.
The second is to the mentors.
The third is to one's parents.
A debt is an obligation arising out
of what one has received from others.
We can easily identify these debts
in the human body; different divine
forces are present nourishing and protecting it.
This divine energy permeates the entire body;
it is called the Rasa (Divine Essence).
We owe a debt of gratitude to the Divine
which has not only endowed us with this
precious human body but which also sustains it.
We shall be able to enjoy these gifts
of the Divine only if we discharge
this debt to the Divine.
How is this to be done?
It is by rendering service to
other bodies saturated with
the same Divine, by doing righteous deeds
and consecrating all actions in the
service of the society.
The debt to the Divine has
to be discharged in full in this life
itself or during many future lives.
The earlier we repay this debt,
the sooner we shall realize Divinity.
