1If money is lost, one need not be worried about it, for one can earn it again. If a friend is lost, one can have another. If wife is lost, one can marry again. If one loses one's piece of land, one can purchase another. All these can be regained, But if body is lost, one cannot get it back. [Sanskrit ]- 2In Latin language, human body is associated with the terms ‘sacredness’ and ‘purity’. The proclaim that human life is highly respectable. Man is put to grief because he misuses his body, not knowing its value and sacredness. You can understand the significance of the human body in your daily life only when you enquire into the mystery of God's creation. Human body inhales the life supporting oxygen and exhales the poisonous carbon dioxide. It partakes of delicious fruit () and excretes the foul smelling fecal matter (). Likewise, man should accept that which is sacred and give up all that is unsacred. Due to the impact of Age, he is accepting bad and giving up good. Unable to realize his innate divinity, man is taking to paths that are contradictory to the principles of and (truth and right action).

- 7There are innumerable unseen powers present in man. They are known as transcendental powers (). Scientists know that energy, which is infinite and unfathomable, can be neither created nor destroyed. Since time immemorial, man has been investigating the nature of this energy. They have come to the conclusion that the whole world is based on psychotronic power, which is also termed bioplasmic power. This is present in every cell and every vein of the human body. Human mind cannot comprehend the nature of this power.
- 8This power is also called , that which is not known. All these powers are not visible to the naked eye. It was this power that enabled mother to lift the mighty (bow of ) with her little finger. It was then that king decided to give his daughter in marriage to one who was equally powerful. Sage , who had understood the intimate relationship that exists between Divinity and transcendental power, took Lord to and solemnised the marriage.
- 9Whatever appears as matter also becomes energy Very often, scientists refer to the two terms - matter and energy - but truly only energy exists. Whatever appears as matter also becomes energy in due course of time. None can describe the glory and grandeur of this transcendental power. " (this energy is beyond the comprehension of the mind and description by words).” This transcends the powers of body, mind, and intellect. Who has created this power? Under whose control does this power lie? In whose hands does this power exist? Who can manifest these powers and prove their existence? Manifestation of these powers can bring about a divine transformation in the hearts of men. wants that such changes should take place from now onward. It is impossible to say when, where, and how this power will manifest itself. Merely listening to the glory of this power may not evoke interest in you. You will understand only when you experience it. This is the super-human divine power. Very soon you are going to witness it.
- 10I do not trouble anyone and none can trouble Me You may have read the news item in a newspaper this morning that is not speaking because of students. It is sheer nuisance. It was specifically mentioned, very incorrectly, that students are responsible for desisting from speaking. By publishing such a wrong news item, the image of students has been tarnished.
- 11No student has ever troubled in any way. In fact they have been pining for incessantly. The relation between me and students is heart to heart, and prompted by selfless love. Such wrong information even flashed in the internet, so much so that Goldstein, from America, being greatly agitated, contacted to find out the Truth. He was very much relieved to know the truth. Do not believe in such false propaganda. I do not trouble anyone and none can trouble Me.
- 12All our students are good. Such good students should not be put to disrepute. Unknowingly, they may commit a few mistakes, but no one has ever troubled . No one should come between the noble heart of and the sacred minds of the students. Some of the elders sitting in the verandah are indulging in gossip. It is finding its way into the internet. Anyone found talking in the verandah should be sent out immediately, whosoever it may be.
- 13All those who give misleading information about what tells them in the interview room should also be thrown out. I will never call such people for interview again.

- 17has nothing to do with internet. Not only now, even in the future also you should not indulge in such wrong activities. This ‘disease’ has its roots in cities and is spreading like wild fire into villages, polluting the village environment. Villages are the epitome of peace and love. Do not spoil the village atmosphere by imitating the city culture. Bliss will prevail in the world only when you develop peace and love. Do not give scope for ill feelings and worthless talk. You can even reprimand the elders who indulge in mean talk. Tell them to behave in a manner that befits their status as elders in the society. They should prove themselves as elders in conduct and not by age. Self-respect leads to self-satisfaction, which will in turn leads to self-realisation. It is a shame that people who come here for self-realisation indulge in something contrary.
- 18Our relationship is only heart-to-heart and love-to-love, nothing else. is love personified. gives importance to love and nothing else. Do not give any value to mean and meaningless talk. Past is past. From now onward, receive the divine love and divine energy emanating from Me and experience the bliss derived therefrom.
