Passage 21

In English

Dedicate the sweet period of your life to God

Students! This is the most sacred stage in your life. It is a sweet period. It is a time that should be dedicated to the Divine. Does anyone offer an unripe or overripe fruit to the Divine? Only a ripe fruit, rich with sweet juice, is offered to God. You are neither an unripe fruit nor a spoiled fruit. You are good, ripe fruit. It is such a fruit that should be offered to God. That is the proper kind of sacrifice to be made in one's life. The has proclaimed that immortality can be attained only through sacrifice and not through good actions, progeny or wealth. You cannot take with you, when you pass away, even a handful of earth. So, make the best use of your years now by leading a selfless, dedicated life. Thereby you should earn God's grace and share it with others. This is the secret of a meaningful life.
