Good Thoughts

[Guest guest]

To the man who has begun to hate himself, the gate to degeneration has

already opened; and the same is true of a nation. Our first duty is

not to hate ourselves; because, to advance we must have faith in

ourselves first and then in God.

 

Give up jealously and conceit. Learn to work unitedly for others. This

is the great need of our country

 

Even the least work done for others awakens the power within; even

thinking of the least good of others gradually instills into the heart

the strength of a lion. I love you all ever so much, but I would wish

you all to die working for others - I should be rather glad to see you

do that!

 

Do you love your fellowmen? Where should you go to seek for God? Are

not all the poor, the miserable, the weak, Gods? Why not worship them

first? Why go to dig a well on the shores of the Ganges? Believe in

the omnipotent power of love. Who cares for these tinsel puffs of

name? Have you love? - You are omnipotent. Are you perfectly

unselfish? If so, you are irresistible. It is character that pays

everywhere. Give up jealousy and conceit. Learn to work unitedly for

others. That is the great need of our country. Have patience and be

faithful unto death. Do not fight among yourselves. Be perfectly pure

in money dealings. So long as you have faith and honesty and devotion,

everything will prosper. So long as there is no feeling of disunion

amongst you, through grace of the Lord, I assure, there is no danger

for you. Do not open your mind, unless you feel it will be positively

beneficial. Use agreeable and wholesome language towards even the

greatest enemy.

 

Any expansion is life, all contraction is death. All love is

expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only

law of live. He who loves, lives; he who is selfish is dying.

Therefore, love for love's sake. Because, it is the only law of life.

 

There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition

of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one

wing.
