Passage 19

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Do not remove anyone. If you stand by morality of that kind, there will be progress without limit. After you have joined a factory, if they tell you, “There is no work for you, go away,” how much would you suffer? So you must weigh against yourself the truth that others too will suffer in the same way. You must conclude, “As my pain is, so is the other person's pain.” You must compare, “As my happiness is, so is your happiness.” Then you will prosper and make others prosper.

Develop an Expansive Principle of Prema

Students! Develop an expansive principle of Prema. Expansion love must come into you. Expansion love is life contraction love is death. I hope that you will think of it in this way, raise yourselves up without limit, go not only through Bhārata but to other countries too, and give them all due enthusiasm and encouragement. When you want more details, I shall give you as many details as you like in your own classes. You may think that Sai Bābā knows nothing about business. There is not one thing that I do not know. If I am to tell you in one word, it is awareness. Look, if I fold this kerchief right up, show you just this much and ask, “what is this,” you say, “piece of cloth.” But this is not true. That is not awareness. When I open it out fully and ask, “what is this,” you say, “This is kerchief.” This is awareness. Total understanding is awareness. But one must tell each person only what he needs. I never say anything that would do harm to the world. All that I say is only for good. One must speak only of welfare, only of prosperity. One must speak only of good use. So when you come separately, I shall tell you as much as you like. When one tells it to children who know nothing, they cannot understand it properly. I should not enter much into your Finance management. Many people of experience have come. They will tell you. Take it well into your hearts and keep putting it to good use for the future. But first of all, Truth and morality. These two you must keep safe. Those are what give for all time. Body is like a water bubble. It may burst at any moment.
