He is truly a wise man, who knows that by which everything also is known...
“Only he is truly a wise man, who knows that by which everything else is known; And without knowing which, all else is not worth knowing, He is the knower of the Supreme Truth.”
Sins do not adhere to the man of devotion....
“Like the reflection that does not adhere to the mirror, Like the water on the lotus lead that is unattached to it, Sins do not adhere to the man of devotion.”
True love is the sweet fruit that grows out of the fragrant flower of good deeds...
Pure and selfless love towards all living beings,
considering everyone as embodiments of the Divine,
with no expectation of reward, is true Love.
With this attitude, when one regards divinity
as present in all beings, he experiences true love.
Whatever be the vicissitudes one may face,
whatever be the personal sorrows and privations
one may undergo, true love will remain unaffected.
Today, the moment a difficulty arises,
love turns into hatred.
True love is the sweet fruit that
grows out of the fragrant flower of good deeds.
Love rules without recourse to the sword.
It binds without laws.
Only one who has such true love
can be described as human, for,
divine love is the basic quality of a true human being.

Man should lead selfless lives....
Men should lead selfless lives.
This may seem difficult. But, in reality,
there is nothing easier than this.
It is selfishness that creates
all kinds of difficulties for man.
Selfless love gives no room for any evil.
Selfless love may meet with opposition
from one's kith and kin and from worldly persons.
But one should not be deterred by such opposition.
Love should be cherished as one's life breath.
Make love the basis for all your actions.
