Passage 5

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

But one may use the camera after taking its owner's permission. If you use it after taking permission and something goes wrong with it, the responsibility comes to you. So spoiling that camera amounts, in a way, to betrayal. When you inquire in many ways like this into any small matter of daily life, this asteya is seen plainly. That is, we must not take others' things at all. Even when you take with permission, mistakes may happen. Some things may get damaged. Causing distress to your own mind in that way comes back under Ahiṃsā. Everything is bound up with everything else. We must not take anyone's thing. If you need it, you may use it after taking their permission. That use too must be proper. If we do not use it properly, we become people who have caused that person some pain. Asteya is the third chief human value for man.

To spend one's time in constant thought of God is brahmacarya

Next, brahmacarya. People in this world imagine brahmacarya in many ways. They think brahmacarya is staying unmarried. That is not true brahmacarya. That is brahmacarya of a worldly kind. Brahmacarya means moving in Brahman. Spending our time constantly in the thought of God is brahmacarya. ‘Caryā’ means conduct. Moving in Brahman is brahmacarya. Merely staying unmarried is not brahmacarya. Such a one is called unmarried. That is all! If he marries, he is called a householder. There is brahmacarya in the householder's Dharma too. That is, for a householder to live his life with his own wife alone is also brahmacarya! If instead he lets the mind enter a crooked path, that can never be brahmacarya. So brahmacarya can be spoiled within the householder's Dharma too. Not only in body. In mind too, give no room to any crooked ways or thoughts.
