Offer your bad qualities into sacrificial fire
Everyone has to go from here when the provisions they have brought or secured have been spent. But by that time, attain the purpose of all this bother of arriving, traveling, accumulating, and spending: the realisation of supreme happiness by ending this circle of birth and death. From this very moment, change your habits and conduct for the better. That is the measure of your sincerity. Have faith and steadfastness. I cannot be deceived by mere play acting. Folding arms and shedding tears will not make Me take you as a devotee. If you try devious paths pretending to be what you genuinely are not, the punishment will be greater in order to cure you of that trait also. Tomorrow, between eight and nine in the morning the valedictory offering in the sacred fire () will take place. That is a precious moment in every sacrificial rite (); the full and final offering is considered the fulfilment of the ritual. But here, you must keep one fact in mind. I am not getting this done; I am He who receives the offerings of the . I observe many of you are getting active to procure from or , in time for the , articles like sandalwood, gold, precious stones, etc. to be put into the sacrificial fire when the final invocation is made. I am not permitting anybody to do that. It is easy to throw away a few and purchase a few material objects from some shop and bring them here and throw them into the fire and go about saying that you have done a great big act of sacrifice. I am going to set you a more difficult task; you cannot escape by doing the easy thing. I want that you should all, when the valedictory offering is offered into the fire, stand up and reverentially offer into the same fire every one of the bad qualities that you have - the faults, the failings, the temptations, the transgressions. Search for these today, unearth them from their hidden places, bring them with you here tomorrow, nicely packed, and with one final heave of mental exertion, throw them in when the flames of rise aloft. That is the share you have to secure in this sacrifice (). That, nothing more and nothing less. These have done you a great service. You must be grateful to them for it. They have given you a clear picture of the glory and splendour of Vedic Mother. which is the real form of motherland. I shall tell them just one thing: when they have given Me bliss (), they have given you bliss also, for I am in every one of you.
