In plain words
If someone is saying bad things, we lend both ears and listen with great interest. ‘Do not readily believe the words of others and bring ruin on your house.’ God has given you two ears. With them listen to good words; listen to the sacred principle of God and to the Name of God. Two eyes God has given you. With them behold the beautiful form of God. Only such a life is a true human life. Only when man does sacred deeds through his five senses in this way does the saying ‘Of all creatures, a human birth is the hardest to gain’ come true; otherwise life turns unholy. Is such a life a life at all! It is no better than death. So boys and girls and elders alike must put the five senses to good use.
Humanness is supremely pure. ‘Mā’ means Māyā; ‘na’ means without; ‘va’ means conducting oneself. To live forgetting Māyā is itself true humanness. Man is not of today; he is ancient indeed. From those days to these, he has kept on taking on humanness. Yet even after taking so many births he is still unable to recognise the greatness of humanness. For however long it lasts: eating, drinking, enjoying pleasures, and in the end dying …. Is this the greatness of humanness! Cattle, birds, beasts and the rest are living this kind of life as well. Born a human being, should you do merely the things cattle do?! You blame others for the troubles that come to you. When you get angry, you hit someone. But is anger a trait of man? No, no. It is the trait of wild beasts.
Modern students becoming slaves to Western culture
Embodiments of Prema! When you were born from your mother's womb, there were no desires of any kind in you. But as you go on growing and growing, the desires grow too. Desires must have a limit. In life, everything needs a limit. But man today oversteps the bounds in his conduct.
