Embodiments of Love!
You should always maintain the sacredness of your speech. Speech is born out of the mind. Vagaries of the mind make it impure. Since speech is the son of the mind the impurity of the mind is reflected in the speech also, just as the son inherits the qualities of his mother. Truly speaking, the mind should have divine feelings. But it does not always happen. The father & son can be totally different from each other.
You should get rid of the feelings of attachment to name and form. Some day or the other, you have to leave the body. Therefore, you should give up body attachment. What you have to give up is not wife, children & property, but the evil qualities of hatred and jealousy which cover up your humanness. When you cast off this veil of evil qualities, you can attain bliss. You develop cataract. It is enough if you get the cataract removed. Then your eyesight will be restored. You need not make any special effort to get back your vision. In the same way, man's heart is covered with the evil qualities of attachment, hatred and jealousy. To gradually give up these evil qualities is real sacrifice. When you give up your evil qualities, you will easily realise yourself.
The clouds of evil qualities and evil feelings cover up the bright sun of Prema (Love) inthe heart of man. In such a situation, you should maintain your quietude. When you keep your poise, thse clouds will move away, on their own. The wind that brought them will also take them away. What man has to do is develop love more and more in his heart. There is no task in this world that cannot be accomplished by love. God is love, Love is God.
