"Samithih Samaani", says the Scripture. All have the same claim for Jnana and for the means of attaining it, like education. Therefore, all must do and get done, noble and pure deeds.

The renouncing of evil deeds, the giving up of desire... these two are accomplished by the same instrument name Manas or Mind. The Purusharthas or the Objectives of Human Life have to be gained only through that. As a result of persistent training, it will learn to obey your interests. The Chiththam, on the other hand, presents before you past and present experience and invites you to see things in perspective and judge them against that background. Equanimity has to be attained in and through this process, that goes on in Chiththa. That is to say, become Eka Chiththa.

Remember also that both these - the Manas and the Chiththa - have to be kept straight on the path of Sarva-Manava-Sukha or the Welfare of all mankind. Dharma will shine and illumine only in the person who serves all and confers joy on all. Such will receive not only the grace of the Lord but also the unique privilege of merging in Him. Whenever you give anything to anyone or take anything from anyone, see that you do not transgress the boundaries of Dharma. Do not go against its commands. Follow it at all times, believing this to be your bounden duty. Fill every ounce of your energy with the essence of Dharma and endeavour to progress in that path, more and more, with every passing day.

The Dharmic person will reveal decision and enthusiastic exultation in every act of his. His adherence to Dharma must be of that order. An attitude of fear that the Lord is seeing everywhere and everything, an ever-present apprehension that one might slide into sin, a natural bent towards truth, a leaning towards right conduct... the Manas is endowed with such virtues. Your task is to direct it and utilise it for the welfare of all mankind. Dependence on Dharma will ensure happiness and increase it. It can remove the spite that one develops towards others. It will not allow you to swell with pride when another suffers or grieves. Can such wickedness confer happiness on you? You can be happy only when all are happy, remember! Always, love and follow only truth; falsehood is never beneficial.

Men respect and disgrace; but, you will find no one who honours falsehood, deceit and injustice. And all will hold in respect truth, straight forwardness and justice. The Dharma as prescribed in the Vedas is tested and capable of being tested. It is impartial and just. Faith in it grows with practice. The worship of the Gods has to follow the rules prescribed in the Vedas; by this means, people will get strengthened in Dharmic practice. This Dharma is the command of the Lord; it is the authentic voice of God and so, it can well be followed by all. For, who is a Devatha? It is just a name for a person who observes Sathya, as his Vratha in daily life.
