You often desire that you must have peace. In fact, every being wants peace, but not many have it. They only see pieces everywhere. From where will you get peace? It is present right there, within you. Fill your heart completely with love – then you will merge in the peace present within your heart. There will be no agitation. An agitation-free mind will confer peace on you. What is truth? All that comes out of a loving heart is truth. What is Righteousness (Dharma)? All actions that emerge from the core of your heart, all actions done out of selfless love is Dharma. Hrud+Daya = Hrudaya. Love and Compassion must pervade your heart. Have faith that your heart is your temple and there is no bigger temple than that. In fact it is a permanent and pure place for the Lord, only you have to keep it that way.

- ‘My Dear Students’, Vol 2, Ch 7, Apr 10, 2000.

To transform yourself, the qualities you need are kindness, love, forbearance and compassion. - Baba

What is the objective of ‘studying’? You must study to become steady. When you have a steady mind, you can prosper. Your mind should not move like the pendulum of a clock. See to it that the Divine Love in your heart is steady. The goal of education should not be to just acquire theoretical knowledge but to practically apply it in your life. Your education should be for life and not for a mere living. Birds and animals lead life without ‘studying’, but your education must result in you developing a strong and good character. In this life, the only high aspiration you must have is for God. Many people collect a lot of information from newspapers and other sources, trying to find out what happened in Germany, USA, etc. These are good to know, but not very important. The aim of education should be to concentrate your mind onto a higher ideal and not merely to become like a library which is a conglomeration of all kinds of facts.

The end of knowledge is love. The end of education is character. - Baba

Take a glass of water, at the bottom of which is sugar. Even though there is sugar in the water, as long as it remains below, the water would not taste sweet. However if you take a spoon and mix the sugar with water, now sweetness pervades the entire tumbler. It is the same with our hearts too. Our heart is like the cup. The Atmic principle is sugar and the worldly desires are the tasteless water in the cup. You drink this tasteless water of the world and say that there is no sweetness. But how can you get the taste? Only when you take the spoon of intelligence, place it inside the cup of the heart and mix with discrimination between the temporary and permanent, then sweetness pervades.

In the Bhagavad Gita, the Lord declares, “Whenever righteousness (Dharma) declines, I make My advent in the world. Dharma will never perish.” It is the practice of Dharma which is becoming weaker day by day, and not Dharma as such. Many times clouds cover the Sun. In such a scenario, the people on earth may not be able to see the Sun. Just because people cannot see, does it mean that the Sun doesn’t exist? No, Sun exists! Temporarily the Sun is hidden by the clouds; therefore people are unable to see it. Nobody can say that the Sun has perished, can they? Similarly, Sathya and Dharma have the effulgence of the Sun. Truth is the Sun, Dharma is the effulgence of the Sun. They are interdependent like matter and energy. Matter and energy cannot exist without each other. Similarly Sun and its radiance are ref lection of each other. Sathya, the Sun and Dharma, its effulgence redeem the world.

All materials in this world will disappear after some time. The principle of Atma alone is imperishable. What is the Atmic Principle? That which pervades the entire body is Atma. You should try to broaden your mind by which you can merge in Divine Consciousness. For example, take a balloon and blow it. It grows bigger and bigger. As it gradually increases size, it also becomes thinner. After a point it becomes so thin than it bursts. Where does the air in that balloon go? It merges with the air outside, which is present everywhere. Thus conscience merges with the consciousness which is present everywhere. This is referred to as liberation, the final goal or emancipation. You can give it many names; they are not important. The goal is important. You must try to achieve this unity with Consciousness, and you can attain this by practising spirituality at all times with all your determination.

Destroy your ego. Then you will have no need to seek liberation, you will
become liberation itself. - Baba

Some students aim to just pass the examination or get perhaps 60%. Low aim is a crime. Who will tolerate or accept any work that is done 40% or 50%? Low marks tend to speak poorly of yourself – so never aim low, you must aim high. You should target a high 98%, then you will definitely cross at least 75%. ‘Success begets Success’, so in any examination, begin answering easy questions first, properly numbering and tracking them. Then, you will feel encouragement from within to continue to write, and slowly be able to handle even the difficult questions as well. On the other hand, if you begin with tough questions, then you may get depressed quickly in the limited time. Depression leads to confusion, which in turn leads to loss of memory. Then, even if you know the answer, you will not be able to answer correctly. So to have the right kind of enthu siasm you must answer easy questions first.

- ‘My Dear Students’, Vol 2, Ch1.

Education must result in humility. Humility is the best credential for success in life. - Baba

We call many our friends. But who is our true friend? As long as you have money in your pocket, or if your parents are in a good position, everyone will greet you, “Hello, Hello” and treat you nicely. If things change and you do not have money, nobody will even tell you, “Goodbye!” When the tank is full, all frogs go there. If it is empty, you will not find even a single frog! However, God is not like that. He has a tank that is ever full of selfless love. In any situation, His tank is full of nectarous sweet love. Changes in your position, place or time or status will not matter to Him. Why do you give up such a true friend and struggle to attain worldly, temporary and untrue friends, whose friendship is ephemeral and lasts for only a short time? Pray that you win an eternal friendship with the Lord.

When you are cutting vegetables for cooking, remember that you are cutting your desires and ego with the knife of wisdom. - Baba
