Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

If you do any bad deed, you are not God. If any bad thought comes to you, you are not God. So, first of all, become good! Do only good. See only good. Be good. This is the very path to divinity.

God Himself is everywhere!

Students! First of all, bring the mind under your control. Offer it to God alone. He Himself will take care of everything. God can do anything. So develop your Bhakti for God. Believe that God Himself is everywhere.

“He is here, He is not there: have no such doubt; the Bearer of the Discus is everywhere; wherever you search and look, there, right there, He is....”

Śrī Kṛṣṇa Paramātma made this very point known in the Bhagavad Gītā:

“Everywhere His hands and feet, everywhere His eyes, heads and faces, everywhere in the world His ears; He abides enfolding all.”

He who fills everything, from the earth to the sky, is God Himself! But beings bound to the physical cannot discover this Satya. Ant, eagle, snake, scorpion, tiger, lion: in every one of them is God Himself, whose form is beyond attributes! In sand and in sugar alike is God Himself! In the ant and in Brahmā alike is one and the same Satya! So go on doing your duties with Bhakti for God. Put into practice what you have learned, and earn a good name. I never say that you should not study. You must certainly study. But this study teaches only worldly Dharma. Spirituality teaches the Dharma beyond the world. Along with research into matter, an inquiry into the heart is needed too.

Students! Today you have completed the academic year and are going home.
