Swami's letters to Students - 1974 New Year Message

[Guest guest]

Dear Boys!Wish you a happy and peaceful New Year. What is the happiest day in your life? All are happy days to a person of true knowledge. Happiness is an internal conscious experience, which comes as an effect of the extinction of mental or physical desire. The lesser the desire, the greater is the happiness, so that perfect happiness consists in the destruction or satisfaction of all desires in the Absolute Being.Life is an experience meant to train the individual for a higher, deeper and more expanded state of existence through the experience of the results of action. The aim of everybody's life is the attainment of complete perfection in the spiritual absolute. Prema is not an illusion. It is a reality and actuality for those who have realized oneness in life.What is man's dearest possession apart from his life; one's dearest

possession is one's own true Self and there is no permanently dear thing apart from that.God is great, all others are mere dusts.God only is real and great. Everything else is unreal and valueless.I go further and say that God only exists and there is nothing second to SAI (God).With Blessings,Baba1 JANUARY 1974
