You must install in your hearts the essence of today s message to all of you. I want you to exercise control over five vital things in life.

First: ‘Do not waste money.’ Realise that ‘Misuse of money is evil.’ If you wish to keep a photo (of Bhagavan), have only one. Why do you waste money on buying too many photos? Do not go on buying photos.

Second: ‘Do not waste food.’ Realise that ‘food is God.’ Your body is the product of the food taken by your parents. Waste of food is waste of God.

Third: ‘Do not waste Time.’ Time is God. The scriptures have extolled many ways God as the Master of Time. Time wasted is life wasted.

Fourth: ‘Do not waste energy.’ Energy enters into every one of our actions. When you see, speak, hear, act or think energy is expended. In every one of these activities you should see that

you do nor waste your energies unnecessarily.

Fifth: ‘Do not forget God,’ at any moment whatever you may be doing. God is present wherever you may go. He is with you, beside you and around you always. Hence there is no need for you to go to some temple to pray to God. Your heart is your temple. Turn your vision inward. Thereby understand the Atmic Principle.

In your journey to Prasanthi Nilayam you must have undergone many inconveniences. In future avoid unnecessary journeys. You may do so when you need it for your contentment. Hence, do not waste time. Do not give room for useless thoughts. Do not waste your love. Love is life itself. With-our love one is as good as dead. Install love in your hearts. (SSS Vol.30)

There are four mottos, which all devotees should follow:

(1) Avoid bad company

(2) Welcome association with good persons.

(3) Remember always the transient and the permanent.

(4) Ceaselessly engage yourself in meritorious acts. (SSS Vol.30)
