Passage 43

In English

When you are young, you will have physical strength, spiritual strength and the ability by which you can establish good things. If you waste this part of your life, you are not going to get once again this strength and time. If you let this opportunity slip away once, it will never come back again. The youth that has slipped away and the water that has flowed down the stream, can never retrace their path. This time of your life is a very sacred age for you. You must make a sincere attempt by which you can make this part of your life very sacred. Everything in , every incident in , relating to and are such that they offer good ideals even to this day, to young people. Make an attempt to regard them as ideal examples and try to follow them. More than worshipping God, to regard God as an ideal example of a perfect human being is important. To worship God and cause pain to human beings cannot be called devotion. If you want to proclaim to the world that you are true devotees, then you must show that in your conduct and in your daily life.
