In English
Truly, having been born in the sacred country of , having experienced the traditions and culture of , if you cannot imbibe the good in that culture, then life itself is a waste. You may listen to many discourses, you may yourself give several discourses; but if all that you hear and all that you say is not put into practice in your life, life itself will become unreal and artificial. If you simply hear about delicious food and delicious plates, is your hunger going to be relieved? Will the poverty of a poor man be removed if you tell him stories about money? If the capacity of several medicines is told to you, is your disease going to be cured? Is your poverty going to be removed if you are told about all the wealth in a bank? Sitting in darkness, if you simply talk about the brilliance of a thousand candles, is the darkness going to be re moved? So also in our heart, the darkness of ignorance and jealousy must be removed not by talking but by practice of good conduct. After removing this, even if you have a tiny little bulb, it will be useful.
