Video Description:
In the process of service, you don’t need to waste so much money.
To the extent possible, use less money, and try to serve more.
You may be a very high net worth individual or a millionaire.
Yet, you should have a simple life and very high thinking.
The dress you wear should be simple.
It should not be one of pomp and show.
When once there is pomp and show, there will be ego.
So you should have a simple dress, you should lead a simple life.
What does it mean? You should be clean.
And you should keep up your health.
You should live in a respectable way in society.
So appropriate to that, you should dress well.
Our behaviour should also be sacred.
Just as our dress is so pure and white, our heart also has got to be pure and white.
First of all, we should make every effort to know ourselves.
We will be wasting time by responding to questions such as, “Who are you?”
First put a question to yourselves, “Who am I?”
First, know yourselves!
How do you know that?
There is a lot of agitation all over the world!
The entire environment is troubling humans!
What do people do when they go to a hill station?
They wear a banian inside.
Then they put on a shirt.
Over that, they wear a woolen coat.
Why?
Because of the cold climate, they wear all these things.
However, when we return to our native place, what do we do?
First, we remove the outer coat.
Then we remove the shirt.
Then we remove the banian also.
Then you can see your chest clearly.
The outer coat is Tamoguna.
The shirt represents Sattvic quality.
The banian represents the Rajasic quality. When you remove these three, you can see your chest, the Atman!
So long as these three attributes are there, you cannot have the wisdom of the Atman!
Therefore to reach the state of sacredness, we should reduce the rest.
Youngsters!
As Bhagavan said in the beginning, character is most important.
When your character, behaviour, and conduct are perfect, no one can be better you.
Ten of you, go to a village for service.
How should you conduct yourself there in a village?
You should be very silent.
You should maintain peace there.
You should be smiling.
You can smile, but you should not laugh out loud.
You should not talk loudly, disturbing the environment.
The locals will think the rowdy gang is in their village, they’ll be fear-stricken.
We should not get such a bad name.
You should go smoothly.
You should go there with humility.
Go with all humility, silently.
You should not talk loudly, and you should never have bad looks.
Start working there.
When you start working, you don’t need to speak.
The one who talks will not work.
The one who works will not talk.
Remember this truth!
The true worker will not talk too much.
Because if one talks one can’t work.
So we should start a new chapter of life and learn how to live hereafter.
