Passage 14

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

In the same way, if you keep putting idli-sāmbār, dosa, rice, everything into this body, this heap too grows. So to think it is consciousness the moment it grows, just for that, is madness. So it is not the body we must grow; we must grow good qualities. Those qualities are Satya, Dharma, Prema and Ahiṃsā.

In this Kali age there is no one without a wrist watch. Whenever we look at it: WATCH, W WORDS, A ACTIONS, T YOUR THOUGHTS, C CHARACTER, H HEART; this is how we must try to know it. If we go on watching this, our life will be fulfilled. We can take this itself as a japa. We can make this itself a dhyāna.

So in the world, the producers, the guardians and the teachers who train must above all develop Prema for the people. Among these three, the teachers are the most important. So strive to make your place as teachers truly worthwhile. It goes on further, tomorrow and the day after. The day after tomorrow, whatever problems you have, solve them nicely, smiling and smiling, happily; and from then on nourish these human values all you can, spread them, practise them, enjoy them, and be ready to give them to others: this I hope, and I bless you, as I bring My talk to a close.
