Listen, recall, and assimilate
Embodiments of Love!Students! Right now, you all are happy listening to this discourse. But, that is not enough; when you go away from here, you must ruminate on what you have heard and digest the lessons. You must listen here and practise there. You have all seen cows going out to graze. When it sees green grass, it makes a beeline for it and rapidly consumes it. It then withdraws to a quiet spot, rests there and masticates in a leisurely fashion what it has eaten earlier. In the same manner, you should, when you go back, recall what you heard here and digest the essence of the lessons. A disciplined human being would practise this threestep procedure: (listening), (recapitulating), and (assimilating).
