Post 1663 One should exercise control over the senses and see that one do not repeat our mistakes....
Though you are committing many sins,
you do not consider them as sins.
You think that they are quite natural to human beings.
You keep committing mistakes, yet you pray for pardon.
Actually, one should never seek pardon
for the mistake committed. One should be
prepared to undergo the punishment.
Only then can one be free from defects.
When a person commits a serious offence,
he is put in a jail. He is released only after
he undergoes the punishment for the required period.
Likewise, if you want redemption,
you should atone for your sins and
be prepared to face punishment for your mistakes.
You should exercise control over
the senses and see that you do not repeat your mistakes.

How can we call a person a human being if he lacks human values?
Who is responsible for the erosion of values in man?
He himself is responsible for his devaluation. Today
we don't find any trace of human values in human beings.
Human values do not come from outside.
They are already there in every person.
But man is not able to recognize this.
He speaks untruth, undertakes wrong activities,
looks at forbidden things and entertains wrong thoughts.
He has lost his purity.

For one who lacks love, the minds becomes a burden...
“For one who lacks intelligence and wisdom,
detachment becomes a burden. For one
who lacks knowledge, the body becomes a burden.

Divinity is present in a subtle form as consciousness...
“Like oil in the dil seed,
like butter in milk, fragrance in a flower,
juice in a fruit, fire in wood,
Divinity is everywhere.
Just as the power of sight
is present in the eye, the
power of hearing in the ear,
the sense of taste in the tongue,
Divinity is present in a subtle form
as Consciousness (Chaithanya) .
Remaining invisible in the phenomenal world,
the form of the Supreme Self , which
sustains everything like the thread in a garland of gems.”

Be good, see good and do good....
During summer, the land gets heated up
and is rendered uncultivateable .
As soon as there is rainfall,
saplings sprout and the land looks green.
From where did the sprouts come?
From the seeds sowed in the
earth. If there had been no seeds at all,
the sprouting would never
have occurred.
Likewise, past deeds
is the seed for human
birth. Your present life is a
reaction, resound and reflection of
your past actions.
Therefore, you are advised,
"Be good, see good and do good."
