Passage 12

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Right and responsibility are like two wings. They are like two wheels. But now one of them has gone. Only right, no responsibility. That is why humanness has gone down completely. Cleverness has grown. First knowledge; second skills; third balance; fourth insight. You have knowledge in plenty. If you skill that knowledge, the balance stays right. But the children of today do not skill knowledge; they kill it. So the balance is lost. What is this skill, and what is this kill?

See no evil, see what is good, Talk no evil, talk what is good Hear no evil, hear what is good Think no evil, think what is good Do no evil, do what is good This is the way to GOD.

This is what skilling means! And bad looks, bad hearing, bad talk, bad thoughts, bad actions come under kill.

It is very surprising why children who have studied so much do not try to recognise this. If we put on a radio and tune it to a station, then, whether the volume is turned low or high, when we have used the radio for an hour, how many units of current are wasted? In the same way our body is a radio, and we misuse all our songs, games and words. How much of our energy is wasted by this? What is Energy? It is divinity. So matter+energy=God. God is not something separate. The world itself is the form of God. “Viśvaṃ viṣṇu svarūpaṃ”: recognising this feeling, we must live our life as God's work. We must respect our elders. We must love in the right way.
