Passage 20

In English

Perform Sacred Actions

Man today has limitless desires. Everyone in the country wants to amass more and more money. That is why the country is facing great economic problems. Everyone wants to be rich. Be rich in love and sacrifice. Who is the richest man? One who has much sacrifice and contentment is the richest man. And who is the poorest man? One who has too many desires is the poorest. The sky is the limit of man’s desires today. In countries like U.S.A., every family has three or four cars. Each member of the family has a separate car. If a person wants to cross a road, his wait becomes endless. For good health, man needs to walk, because walking is a good exercise for physical fitness. But we want to use the car even for a short distance. People today want to have an air conditioner in all the rooms and even in the bathroom. We need a to carry even a small bag. Do your work yourself. People today do not want to work with their hands. But they keep on filling their belly. If you sit and eat, your health will be spoilt. Physical work is very necessary for good health. Modern man is mad with excessive desires. Develop sacred thoughts and perform sacred actions. When sacred actions are done to please God, your conscience will not permit you to make mistakes. But today few people have sacred thoughts. However, there are some noble souls who perform sacred actions silently without any publicity. They are not known to all.
