The best way to gain education is to abide by the master's instructions and to please him. What education we acquire by pleasing of our master cannot come by our own efforts.
What work gets done by exclaiming for God, could not be accomplished by mere understanding and thinking. The unhappiness of not attaining God, is many thousand times greater, than worldly happiness. Just as a physician prescribes or gives a medicine, in that lies our good. So whatever God dispenses, therein lies the greater good for us. Just as ghee held in the body of a cow, is not useful, so mere learning is not of much use. `I am the knower' or `I am not knower', these both are admissions of the ignorant. True beauty lies in the character of a person. To remember something, remember God, and to think of work, serve others. To admit the truth, is man's bounden duty. If each person, one by one reforms himself, then the whole society would be reformed. Should you want happiness from your children, then give happiness to your parents and serve them. To wish ill of others, is to invite ill to oneself. Remember- all dispensations of God are for your greatest good. By relating anything about yourself appearing special to you, in reality it is your subordination of that. In the end, one has to go alone. So from the beginning, one should get lonely, by giving up the attachment of things, persons and actions. It is an all important rule to follow: to always remember God, and an over-riding abstention to give up desire. Contentment is the basic mantra for reforming society. `Unity in diversity' and `Diversity in unity', is a special feature of Hindu religion. A person taking refuge in untruth, cannot harm us. There is nothing so invaluable in the world, as devotion to God. Efforts to change the conditions are fruitless, and efforts to make good use of the conditions are useful. As man creates more needs, he would as much become more subservient. It is most surprising that things granted by God appeal to man, but not God himself. Whether people accept us as good or not, know us as good or not, think of us as good or not, but if our feelings are good, then all the time our mind would be happy and on death there would be salvation.
