A bamboo is valued in terms of its thickness and height. The sugarcane gets its value from its juice. The worth of a human being is based on his Buddhi (intellect). The more the intellect develops, the better one becomes. As the intellect declines, the human descends to the level of animal. Man’s worth has declined today because he does not recognize the importance of the intellect and of conduct based on proper discrimination. The form is human, but the thinking is at the animal level. Man has earned the appellation of “two-legged animal.” Having acquired the human form, man should conduct himself with intelligence. This is achieved through Thyaga (renunciation) and Yoga (spiritual discipline).

Attachment causes pain, and detachment results in joy. But, you cannot easily detach yourself from activity; the mind clings to something or the other. Make it cling to God, let it perform all actions for God and leave the success or failure, the loss and the profit, the elation or the dejection, to God. This is the secret of Shanti (Peace) and contentment.

You wear colored glasses and see everything through those glasses. Correct your vision; the world will get corrected. Reform yourselves and the world will get reformed. You create the world of your choice. You see many, because you seek the many, not the One. Try to subsume the many in the One - first the family, then the community, the state, the nation and finally the world. Thus, progressively march on towards more and more inclusive loyalties and reach the stage of universality in thought, word and deed. This is the Sadhana (spiritual endeavor) of Love, for, Love is expansion. The individual has to be Universalized and expanded into Vishwaroopa (the cosmic form of the Divine).
