Hi!

Every One! I am glad to share the below text with you all...

!--------------------

On "How to Live?": For the sake of livelihood,

each one should perform regularly and earnestly work

which is not sinful. Leading one's life without

causing distress to any living being is the highest

principle of righteousness. Anyone who causes distress

to another living being will surely have grief for

himself. If one is successful in observing this

principle, one is winner all around.

 

Just as we extinguish fire with water, we have

to overcome anger with fortitude, conquer untruth with

truth, unrighteousness with righteousness and laziness

with faith and hard work.

 

Just as darkness is dispelled by light, we

have to win over harshness with sympathy, miserliness

with sacrifice, attachment to sensual pleasures with

indifference and a feeling of differentiation with

compassion.

 

Just as we cross the sea by means of a boat,

we can cross the worldly life with discrimination,

overcome the deluded state of mind with meditation and

yoga, and the world with courage.

 

Just as a shower extinguishes the wild fire in

a forest, the worldly concerns subside through

devotion to God; hatred through love; fear of death

through emancipation and ignorance through intellect.

 

Do not obstruct anyone who is on the path of

self-realisation, but help him as far as possible; Get

over the obstacles in the way of one's own

self-realisation. To liberate oneself and to help

others get liberation is the substance of our

religious philosophy. If anyone obstructs your way of

self-elevation, remove the obstacle.

Make Today A Great Day!
