In English
[Loud applause!] Therefore, starting from today the auspicious day of , vigorously develop your love for God. Propagate and spread selfless love. There can be no greater spiritual preaching than love. The study of scriptures can make a person scholarly [in the worldly sense] but not wise. Who is a true scholar? Who is the truly wise one? He who has perfect equanimity and is equal-minded under all circumstances alone can be described as scholarly and wise. They pore over books, claim to have mastered all the texts, and proclaim themselves to be highly learned. Such self-praise and self-acclaim are a sure sign of ego. Ego is very dangerous because it drags one with certainty to ruin. What is the use of mere study? Do these scholars practise even a bit of what they have studied? Hardly. Scholarship will not protect or redeem you; only pure love can.
