In English
We should develop intelligence, because our intelligence enables us to distinguish good from bad through the process of constant thought and discrimination. We should not stuff our heads with all worldly matters. We must implement the good principles that we have stored in our minds. The discourses of elders and the messages of great books point out the great principle of finding unity in diversity. But this principle remains only theoretical if it is not implemented in our daily lives. Several holy texts are exhorting us to find unity in diversity and recognise diversity in unity. This is being preached; but we cannot find one person who, by his action, is able to drive home the truth into our hearts. If we want to recognise unity in diversity, we must first know the meaning of three words. We may glibly say that the elimination of sorrow and acquisition of joy is the simple path that leads to spiritual illumination. Even in this regard, we must know the nature of sorrow. Only then can we destroy or eliminate it. Sometimes, when we consider one experience to be sorrowful, after some time it may turn out to be a pleasurable one. And when we consider an experience to be a surfeit of joy, it may turn out to be one of sorrow or anguish in due course.
