Withdrawal from sensory objects is an important virtue. It implies a state of mind that is above and beyond all dualities that agitate and affect common people, such as joy and grief.

Withdrawal from sensory objects can be achieved while engaged in day to day living. Do not look at the world with a worldly eye. Then, even you can escape from the opposites of grief and joy, and attain balance and equal mindedness.

You experience the One as many because of the mind playing its games. Practice seeing everything as a projection/extension of the Loving Lord. Then, you will be able to cross the horizon of dualities into the region of One.

Give up the feelings "I" and "you". Only then can you understand the glory of that which is neither “I” nor “mine”. This does not mean you renounce everything.

Deal with the world as duty demands, in a spirit of detachment. The acid test by which an activity can be confirmed as holy and sacred is to examine whether it promotes attachment or bondage. The activity is unholy or sinful if it arises from or promotes greed.

With the intent of fulfilling your legitimate duties, pray to God to keep you alive for a hundred years. You will not incur blame. This is the lesson from true education.

What is needed today is that we should lead a life of good quality. The fostering of sterling character and good conduct is the need of the world. Once we have greater numbers of such people of good quality, the country and the world will become prosperous and peaceful.
