Religion Chastens Life
Every country and nation in the world, built up their national pride and devoted loyalty towards the glory of their nation by educating its growing generation to admire and appreciate its past achievements and accomplishments. The enduring greatness of achievements in our Hindu past is not in the vulgar wealth hoarded, or pernicious wars waged to soak our past with guilt and blood.
Ours was the glory of constructive thoughts and discovery of the higher values and way-of life most conducive to peace and love in a happy community. The Rishis declared them. Buddha lived them.
People accepted them and demonstrated how joyfully man can live in mutual harmony and love.
We must revive that great Sanathana-Dharma life-style and with appropriate adjustments to contain the modern tensions and forces playing upon our present day Hindu community.
As 'teachers' of the people when you take classes in Gita and Upanishads, wherever possible emphasise and illustrate how the ideas in our eternal scriptures can be lived and how we can rebuild a 'Happy Home' for mankind to live, strive, flourish and enjoy.
Listeners may not have this ability of application of ideas to daily life. Their entire attention will be trying to grasp the raw ideas. We must help them to see how these ideas can enrich personal individual life.
Religion chastens life in the individual and through individual perfection brings about a brightening of the quality of man's communal living. This glow in living life is called culture. Encourage listeners not only to study the noble-life chalked out in Vedanta but also to live it fully and fearlessly.
Be friendly towards all. Court with love, even those who are in their inner confusions or under some misunderstanding or with an inherent sense of shyness, standing outside the gate of the mission. Such people when once won over will truly become the greatest supporters the noblest workers and generally grow more and more spiritual very fast.
All these can be effortlessly achieved only when you are pure and noble in your own moral living and when you are steady and regular in your spiritual sadhana. The glow and warmth must come from you. to attract others around you, who are now living in desperate sorrows born out of self-created mental worries. Be patient and loving, in nursing these unfortunate ones out of their bewilderment.
Maintain punctuality and extreme cleanliness about you and around you. Be smiling. Centred in Him who is ever in your heart act honestly with endless love for the welfare and well being of all others at all times.
Be willing to make sacrifices of your comforts and privileges in serving others. Court and serve people not their possessions. Wait and watch how funds come when you deserve it in His judgement. Devoted to Narayana serve the world; how can Lakshmi be far away? You will always get what you deserve - you may not get what you desire. Therefore come to deserve first and then learn to fulfill your program of Seva.
In life always the giver is the master the receiver is always the slave! Creditor is the master, debtor is surely a slave. The employer is the master the employee the slave. When time employs you, you become the slave. But if you intelligently employ time you become the master of time and time your slave! Make a very tight program for the week and then for the month. Diligently whip yourself to be totally faithful to your own program.
Soon you will be able to program your activities for the whole year!
An enormous volume of work you will then be able to undertake and cheerfully accomplish during the year. May we strive continuously and perhaps succeed in making our community a little better than what it was when we reached to serve our people.
