Recollections of Swami’s Shivarathri Divine messages-7

GOD: THE TRINITY AND THE COSMOS

Maha Shivarathri day – 28th February 1995 – Prashanthi Nilayam

The tongue is the cause of prosperity or poverty. The tongue, again, is or

responsible for promoting friendship and kinship, for attachment and bondage,

and for death and liberation. It is essential to keep the tongue under control.

The manner in which the tongue is employed determines one's fame or ignominy.

The tongue determines your friendships and relationships. The entire creation

is based on three processes: Srishti (creation), Sthithi (sustenance) and Layam

(dissolution). The cosmos is kept going by these three processes (Karmas) .

Should there not be a director for these processes? You cannot have in this

world an action (Karma) without a doer (Kartha). The doer and the deed go

together. Who is the doer? What is this action? What is the fruit of the

action? It is only when these three are properly

understood can the secret of creation be recognised.

THREE DIVINE AGENCIES

It is easy to criticize the Lord's "Leelas”, but it is difficult to understand

their inner meaning. Our life should be devoted to understanding the ways of

the Lord. In this understanding, the first aspect to be recognised is "Srishti"

(creation of the cosmos). What is involved in this process should be understood.

For instance, if a giant bridge has to be constructed, a large number of

engineers and other personnel are required. Besides a chief manager, there will

have to be engineers and men working under him. It is only their combined effort

that can build a bridge. In the same manner, for the creation, protection and

mergence of the cosmos, three principal agencies are required. The principal

authority responsible for creation is known as Brahma. He is in charge of all

that is related to creation. Next comes

protection. What has been created has to be fostered and protected. The

authority responsible for this function is called Vishnu. After growth

inevitably there comes the stage of dissolution. There is an authority

responsible for laying down the rules for dissolution and enforcing those

regulations. This authority is called Easwara. Thus there are three authorities

who share functionally the responsibility for creation, protection and

dissolution. There must be someone who presides over these three functionaries,

like the Prime Minister in a Cabinet: Brahma, Vishnu and Easwara are presiding

deities for three different functions. There is a supreme authority presiding

over these three. Bharathiyas called this supreme authority as “Bhagawan”.

Members of different faiths have given different names to this authority. The

term that is most widely used in this context today is "God". Bhagawan refers

to the One who governs all the three functions of creation, protection and

dissolution.

GOD AND THE COSMOS

In the word "GOD"; you have three letters: G, 0, D. G refers to "Generation" (or

creation). "O" refers to "Organisation" (that is, keeping creation going). "D"

stands for destruction. "GOD" combines the three aspects of generation,

Organisation and destruction. When people refer to God, they regard Brahma,

Vishnu and Siva as each a God. God is the one who wields authority over all the

three. This Divine entity pervades the entire universe in the form of atoms.

"Subtle as the atom, vast as the vastest in creation, the Atma pervades

everything as atom" (Telugu poem Swami sang). Hence, the Divine is called Atma.

This Atma pervades everything and is present everywhere. This all-pervading Atma

is the Eternal Witness. This role may be illustrated by a simple example: There

is light here. There are some who are reading

under it, some who are sleeping, some who are talking and some others who are

moving about. The light has no connection with all these different activities.

The light is only a witness. Likewise, the Sun is shining. Using the sunlight

different people are carrying on different activities. The sun is totally

unaffected by either the good or bad actions that are being done by different

persons. Each is accountable for his actions. But the sun shines as a witness

to all that is happening. Without the sun none of these actions is possible.

The sun is the agency that enables the actions to be done but He is not the

dispenser of the fruits of these actions. He is only a witness. The doers have

to reap the consequences of their actions. Brahma Vishnu and Easwara are

responsible enabling the actions to be done, furthering their fruition and

determining how the fruits should be enjoyed. These three deities have to be

propitiated for favors in these respects. That is what has been done on

Shivarathri night.

PROPITIATING THE DEITIES

How are they to be propitiated? The methods are indicated in the nine forms of

devotion: Sravanam (singing), Vishnusmarnam (Remembering the Name), Vandanam

(prostration), Archanam (worship of images), Padasevanam (worship of the feet),

Dasyam (service), Sneham (friendship), Atma Nivedanam (total surrender).

Today we have to acquire the favors of these deities. With their friendship, we

can face any troubles just as, if we have friendship of a person in power, we

overcome troubles in life. These deities help to alleviate the consequences of

our actions if they are properly propitiated. For this purpose, the chanting of

the Divine name is essential. Equally meditation and penance are necessary. All

forms of worship are designed to please the deities.

These deities lay down regulations for observance by the world in respect of

their specific functions. These regulations are like the traffic rules and

guideposts and the road signs that indicate to people using the roads how they

should behave.

For instance, there is Brahma. As Creator he lays down the laws relating to

actions and how the consequences of these actions affect people in their lives

from birth to death. In addition, he also effects changes in the administration

of these rules. On the basis of this function, the Brahma principle is operative

everywhere. The very term Brahma means, "pervading". The pervasiveness of the

Brahma Principle is cosmic.

Vishnu also means that which is all pervading. The Vishnu Principle permeates

everything. Wherever the creation principle of Brahma is present, there the

sustaining principle of Vishnu is also present.

Where there is protection there is also punishment. This means where Vishnu is

present, Easwara is also present.

OMNIPRESENCE OF THE ABSOLUTE

Where is the Supreme Divinity? It is omnipresent. But not recognizing this

truth, people pray to God in various ways. These prayers are not to God. They

are prayers addressed to the guardian deities of the Lord. These guardian

deities examine the merits of each case and make their recommendations to God.

Hence, God is a permanent Witness. He has no attributes; he has no specific

form. He can assume any form. The attributeless Divine has attributes also. A

pot is made from clay. The clay is formless but the pot with form is made from

it. There is no pot in the clay, but there is clay in the pot. Likewise, the

Divine is everywhere. The Divine is in forms and is formless. He is with and

without attributes.

DHARMA AND ADHARMA

How do men relate to God? There is "Chitta" in man (the heart). There is a

recording deity known as "Chittagupta". The good and bad actions done by one

are duly registered in the heart and taken into reckoning by "Chittagupta”. The

results of these actions are given a concrete form and the fruits are made

available to each according to his deserts. The Divine cannot offer what is not

there. He will not take away what is one's due. He lets the respective deities

carry out their functions according to the rules. Hence he is called the

Embodiment of Dharma. The Lord will not interfere in the functions of the

different deities. He lets Brahma, Vishnu and Easwara carry out their

respective functions according to the cosmic laws. As He remains a Witness, He

is described as the Embodiment of Dharma and Truth.

Today everyone interferes with every other's function. This causes the breakdown

of the natural order. This is described as the reign of unrighteousness and

untruth. This is the difference between the reign of Dharma by the Divine and

reign of Adharma by the mundane rulers.

The Divine is verily the form of Dharma, (Righteousness): Hence Rama is

described as Vigrahavaan Dharmah (The embodiment of Righteousness). Even if you

are unable to worship the form of the Divine as Righteousness and Truth, adhere

to Righteousness and follow Truth. Sathyam vada, Dharmam chara ("Speak the

truth, observe Dharma") - these are the Vedic injunctions.

SURRENDER TO GOD

The three principal deities govern the cosmos. I am letting you into a secret.

So far as Creation is concerned, propitiate Brahma and establish links with the

deity. As regards protection, establish links with Vishnu (by propitiating Him).

With regard to destruction, establish association with Easwara (Siva). However

if your heart is totally pure, you can establish direct connection with God.

You need not approach the lesser deities. For this, there is a way. That is the

way of total surrender. Through surrender you can establish a direct link with

God, heart to heart.

All the Bhajans and chanting that are done now are related to the lesser

deities. The Divine Mystery is incredibly marvelous. It is not easy for

ordinary mortals to comprehend these mysteries. People ask questions from time

to time about Swami's actions. "Why is He causing this trouble? Why is He

acting in this manner?"

The answer may be got from a puranic story.

THE BHASMAASURA STORY

Once Easwara gave a boon to Bhasmaasura as desired by him, namely, that whatever

he touched should be reduced to ashes. Immediately on getting the boon he lost

his sense of gratitude to Easwara. He wanted to place his hand on Easwara

Himself! Easwara could not protect himself. He went to Vishnu, who has the duty

of being a protector. Even as protector Vishnu had to observe the laws of

Dharma. He could not punish Bhasmaasura straight away. He staged a drama. He

assumed the form of a most beautiful damsel, Mohini. On seeing her,

Bhasmaasura's passion was aroused. He ran after Mohini. Mohini told him "You

perform all that I do, I shall marry you". Bhasmaasura readily agreed. He had

no sense of discrimination or of gratitude. Mohini started dancing and

Bhasmaasura kept pace with her. In the course of the dance,

Mohini placed her hand on her head. When Bhasmaasura did the same he was reduced

to ashes. His hand was his undoing. This episode shows that even in discharging

the duty of protection, the divine has to observe the code of Dharma.

It should be recognised that the ways of God are governed by cosmic laws

("Saasanam"). Even the Divine cannot act against these laws.

GOD AND THE COSMIC CODE

Men today violate the code of moral behavior. But the Divine cannot act against

His own moral code. So, on different occasions, God waits for the appropriate

time to enforce the code. On that account, you cannot say God is powerless or

incompetent. God is omnipotent, but that does not mean He can act arbitrarily.

He acts according to the cosmic code.

God is not like a lecturer who teaches a lesson and leaves the classroom. God is

like a physical education director who teaches by his own example. That is why I

say: "My life is my message". (Cheers) God teaches by demonstration.

Today some people carry on propaganda to cast aspersions on the actions of the

Divine by misrepresentation and misinterpretation. They declare: "God punishes

you, God persecutes you. " This is totally misconceived. It is not God's

business to punish you or harass you. The punishment and the persecution are

consequences of your actions. God is the giver of the fruits of your actions.

He is like a postman who delivers letters in different homes. In one house the

letter brings grief. In another the letter causes joy. Is the postman

responsible for joy one home or the grief in another? It is the message

contained in the letters that is responsible for the different reactions.

In the same manner, the Lord is an impartial witness. He merely hands over the

fruits of each one's actions according to their deserts. In case the

consequence is unpleasant God may interfere to get the pain reduced by proper

propitiation. That authority He has.

The three presiding deities over creation, protection and dissolution are the

Trinity - Brahma, Vishnu and Siva. But there is a fourth entity - the Overlord

("Sironaayakam"), who is above these three. He is God. He can overrule the

Trinity. How? By mitigating the magnitude of the consequences of Karma. He can

counteract any kind of situation. That is the Divine prerogative of God. He can

create anything, protect anything. He creates and brings about its dissolution.

Therefore, God should be regarded as having control over Generation,

Organisation and Destruction. To realise God, you have to surrender yourself

completely. When the surrender is total, a direct link with God is established.

Without such surrender propitiating the lesser deities is a waste of time.

CAUSES OF DOUBTS

When one surrenders, according to the circumstances, the devotee becomes subject

to some doubts and mental agitation. For instance, in the Ramayana, when Rama

and Lakshmana were going in search of Sita, suddenly Lakshmana felt tired and

told Rama that he was fed up with the search for Sita and would like to go back

to Ayodhya to have a more comfortable time. Rama smiled and said: "Let us

proceed. I shall explain everything later". How did Lakshmana, who previously

had declared that Rama was everything to him and that he would not live without

Rama even for a moment, suddenly develop this attitude? How did this concern for

bodily comfort arise?

After they had walked some distance, they sat under a tree. That moment

Lakshmana felt the pangs of repentance. He realised his mistake, clasped Rama's

feet and said: "Brother! Forgive me for what I had said. I cannot understand how

this bad thought came to my mind. What is the reason?" Rama then replied:

"Lakshmana! The region through which we passed recently was the haunt of

Surpanakha. Surpanakha used to rest under the tree there. That place was

surcharged with all her evil qualities. Those vibrations aroused in you the bad

thoughts. The moment you came out of the place, your inherent good nature

asserted itself."

The lesson of this incident is that people will have to be careful about their

association with certain places or persons. Eschew bad company. Be away from

places where evil qualities are rampant. The vibrations from a place affect

persons who frequent them. Here you have Divine vibration. Elsewhere you have

demonic vibrations. Recognise the difference between these two kinds of

vibrations. Realise that association with good people ultimately leads to

God-realisation. You must understand that God's grace is related to your good

actions. When your conduct is good, God's grace comes direct to you.

People ask, "Where is God?” But without knowing it, a so-called unbeliever

believes in God. Once, Prime Minister Nehru visited Madurai in South India. He

was not interested in spiritual matters. God had no meaning for him. His

agnosticism was a product of the environment in which he grew up. The local

leaders took him to Meenakshi temple, whether he was inclined to visit the

temple or not. During the visit, the leaders who were with Nehru praised the

ornaments worn by the Goddess and told him that the diamonds and gems in the

jewels on the idol were worth crores of rupees. After listening to them, Nehru

remarked, "Why is it that these valuable gemstones are placed on a valueless

idol?" After that he was returning from the sanctum. He did not notice the door

and he hit against it and stumbled. At that moment, he cried out: "Oh! My

God!” This shows each one has his own God and refers to Him as `my God.'

Thus, even without being conscious of it, all have some faith in God. The reason

is that God is in everyone. That divinity manifests itself without one's

knowledge. Faith in God is natural to man. Doubts about God are artificial

exercises of the mind.

Spirituality calls for the removal of the animal qualities in man and developing

his divine qualities. This is the duty of all spiritual aspirants. Qualities

like slander, backbiting and speaking ill of others are sub-human qualities.

You must learn to respect the divine in everyone, while carrying on your

duties.

The path of direct realisation of the Divine consists in total surrender to the

Divine, as exemplified by Lakshmana in his surrender to Rama. He told Rama that

after his surrender he had nothing that he could call his own and he existed

only to carry out Rama's will in every matter.

Thyagaraja, who once for a brief while entertained doubts about Rama's capacity

to relieve him of his troubles, later extolled the limitless power of Rama,

which enabled Hanuman to leap across the ocean and which accounted for

Lakshmana's total surrender to Rama. (Swami sang the keertana of Thyagaraja in

praise of Rama's prowess, which evoked the adoration of Lakshmana, Bharata and

others).

Likewise, how can anyone determine Sai-Shakthi? Here are people from Argentina

and Australia. Are they dull-witted? Are they not intelligent and affluent

people? What is the meaning of their coming to Swami? If Swami did not have the

power, why would they come? This one fact is enough to show how they recognise

the truth about Swami (Cheers.)

To recognise divinity there is no need to master the scriptures, or study the

Upanishads. A single visible experience is enough.

The nature of divinity cannot be described or defined. It is beyond description.

What is needed is development of faith in the Divine, through weal and woe. In

the pursuit of the Divine, perseverance is essential. The quest should not be

given up in any circumstance. Either God should bless you or you should forget

yourself in thinking of Him. People today lack such determination and

perseverance. Part-time devotion can only receive part-time Grace.

Adore God with firm determination. The right time for starting on this quest is

when you are young, as students. Remain unflinching in your faith. You did

Bhajans all through the night. But that is not enough. Contemplation of God

should be kept up always at all places. Whatever work you do, dedicate it to

God. Divinise every word and action.

[bhagawan concluded His discourse with the Bhajan "Hari bhajana binaa sukha santhi nahi."]

Recollections of Swami’s Shivarathri Divine messages-8

SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF SHIVARATHRI

Maha Shivarathri day – 17th February 1996 – Prashanthi Nilayam

Moham hithvaa priyo bhavathiKrodham hithvaa na sochathiKaamam hithvaa arthavaan

bhavathiLobham hithvaa sukhi bhavathi

Embodiments of Love!

As long as one is proud, men will not like him. Only when he suppresses his

pride will he be liked by one and all. "Krodham hithvaa na sochathi". The man

filled with anger will have no happiness. He will be immersed in misery. When

he subdues his anger, he will be free from grief. "Kaamam hithvaa arthavaan

bhavathi". When a man has insatiable desires he will never feel contented. When

he controls his desires, he will be truly rich. "Lobham hithvaa sukhi bhavathi".

A miserly person will never feel happy. When he gives up greed he will realize

happiness.

Embodiments of Love!

Divinity is not easily perceived or realized. It is easy to talk about the

Divine. It is easy to comment on the miracles and sports of the Divine. But to

understand them in their fullness is very difficult. To look at something evil

and shout about it like crows is not a good thing. It is better to sing like

the cuckoo over something good. Tastes differ from person to person. One man's

sweet is another man's poison. With such diverse tendencies, how can men

recognize the Divine? The ancient sages of Bharat carried out many spiritual

investigations and through the study of the scriptures proclaimed their

experience of the Divine. The Upanishads declared: "Raso vai saha". That is,

the Divine is present in all things as their essence like sugar in sugarcane

and butter in milk. God is present both in the good and the bad, in truth and

untruth, in merit and sin. That being the case, how is one to determine what is

false and what is unrighteous? The Gita declares: "My Spirit is the indwelling

spirit in all beings". The individual who realizes this truth will experience

equal mindedness (samatvam).

DUALITY IN LIFE

But, for people living in the mundane world and concerned with worldly affairs,

right and wrong, truth and untruth and similar opposites are unavoidable.

Hence, as long as one is involved in leading a worldly life one cannot escape

from duality. One's peace and security have to be found in the context of

pleasure and pain. One's joy is linked with suffering. Pleasure is an interval

between two pains. Life is a combination of light and shadow. Without sorrow

there can be no happiness. Only when you walk in the hot sun can you experience

the pleasure of a shady place. In such a life, it is not possible to experience

pleasure alone all the time.

THE COSMIC PROCESS

The entire cosmos is governed by three states: creation, sustenance and

dissolution (Srishti, Sthithi and Layam). The truth of this is beyond dispute

by anyone at any time. A Divine truth is conveyed by this concept.

"Srishti"(creation) is the expression of the will of God (Easwara Sankalpa). It

is called Prakriti (Nature). Every object in creation should have the

characteristics of Nature. Man has come into existence to manifest the powers

of Nature. The powers of Nature are not present in all in equal measure. The

man who is conscious only of the physical has a perverted view of these powers.

The spiritually oriented person sees their benign nature. Nature (Prakriti) and

Spirit (Chaithanya) are one. But in accordance with their varied feelings and

attitudes, things appear good or bad to men.

"Loka" is one of the names applied to the world. "Loka" is that which has the

power of thought ("aalochana"). In this assembly there are a large number of

persons. They are all gathered in one place. But each lives in a world of his

own. What is the reason? One will be thinking about an educational problem.

Another will be thinking about a job. Yet another may be worried about his

business. Another may be concerned about agriculture. Others may be thinking

about some scientific problem. All these different realms of thought are all

exercises of the mind.

THE TRINITY IN MAN

Thus the cosmic process (Srishti) creation, (Sthithi) sustenance and (Layam)

dissolution goes on in every human being. Creation (Srishti) is the outcome of

thought (Sankalpa). "Sthithi' (sustenance) is protection of creation. "Layam"

is the merger of creation in its source. Srishti, Sthithi and Layam are also

identified with the three qualities Sathva, Rajas and Thamas. Man is the

embodiment of the three gunas. The three gunas represent the Trinity (Brahma,

Vishnu and Maheswara). The Trinity represents the three worlds (Trilokas). The

three worlds and the Trinity are present in every human being. The three are to

be regarded as one and worshipped as "Sivam". What is "Sivam"? It is the

embodiment of auspiciousness. When man recognizes the unified form of the

Trinity his humanness acquires auspiciousness. In a government there are

different departments like education, finance etc.. Likewise in the spiritual

field also there are different departments. They are: Srishti, Sthithi and

Layam. Each department has a head. Each head has to govern his department on

right lines. There is an overlord presiding over all departments. He is like

the Prime Minister in a Cabinet. He is God. He is called Allah. By attributing

different names and forms to God, Divinity is fragmented in various ways. The

one Divine is responsible for the threefold cosmic process. This three

aspects-of God can be seen in the English word GOD. G represents generation

(Srishti). O represents Organization (Sthithi). D represents Dissolution

(Layam). GOD represents the unity of the three aspects.

There is a misunderstanding about these three. "Layam" is considered as

destruction or dissolution. Its real meaning is mergence. O represents

Organization. It means protection. G stands for Generation (or creation).

Brahma, Vishnu and Easwara are three potencies immanent in man. To understand

this it is essential to follow the spiritual path.

Spirituality does not mean leading a lonely ascetic life. Spirituality means

getting rid of attachment and hatred and looking upon the whole humanity as

one. Every one should understand this inner meaning of spirituality.

SIVARATHRI

Man is endowed with infinite potencies. All that you experience by way of

seeing, hearing and the like are reflection of the inner being. The

significance of this experience has to be properly understood. For instance,

today is Shivarathri day. You experience the night every day. These are

ordinary nights. They are nights of darkness. But Shivarathri is an auspicious

night. How is it auspicious? There are sixteen aspects for the mind. The moon

is the presiding deity for the mind. Of the sixteen phases of the moon, today

in the fourteenth day of Margasirsha month, fifteen of the phases are absent.

On this day it is possible to get full control of one's mental faculties. Hence

it is considered an auspicious day. Auspiciousness consists in diverting the

mind towards God. This calls for getting rid of the inherited animal tendencies

in

man. This is the occasion to recognize the omnipresence of the Divine in all

beings and in all objects. It follows that whomsoever you adore or condemn, you

are adoring or condemning God. You must follow the injunction: Help ever, hurt

never.

Every human being has sacred qualities, based on his Divine essence (Sivatvam).

Hence man should realize his inherent divinity, though his body is made up of

the five elements. Thereby humanness is transformed into divinity. The human

birth is intended for the pursuit of Dharma. Dharma (Righteousness) implies

harmony in thought, word and deed. When every person realizes his essential

divine nature, the entire world will be transformed. The body and the mind are

mere instruments. Man's reality is the Self (Atma). Man should use the

instruments given to him to perform his duties well and realize his oneness

with God.

UNITY IN DIVERSITY

All the phenomena in Nature proclaim the glory of the Divine. Why foster

religious differences? Let everyone carry out the dictates of the Divine, who

governs the universe. (Swami sang a poem in Telugu to convey this message).

Everything that happens is by the will of God.

The principal teaching of the Vedas is that all men should strive together in

harmony and share their joys together in amity. Through unity humanity can

achieve purity, leading to divinity. The three great enemies of man are: lust

or desire, anger and greed. These have to be eliminated. The greatest quality

in man is love. Love is God. Live in love.

Bharat has been hailed as the teacher for all lands. It is the country, which

regarded God as one and recognized the unity that underlies all diversity. God

is one, the goal is one and all life is one. This unity underlies all

diversity. This basic Divine unity is missed in the perception of diversity.

THE GODLY LIFE

Embodiments of Love! At the present moment, in the prevailing situation, what is

most essential is the cultivation of love. Losing love mankind has lost its

humanness. Love is the supreme human value. Truth, righteousness, peace and

non-violence are other human values. Knowing these values, men are foolishly

leading valueless lives. What a pity that men in human form do not behave like

human beings. Rivers, trees and cows teach the lesson of living for the benefit

of others. Man should also share the divinity in him with others. Men today are

steeped in selfishness. Who ever remembers the names of scholars and

scientists? But millions adore the names of realized souls like Ramakrishna

Paramahamsa, Tukaram, Kabir and Ramdas.

Bear in mind four dicta to be observed: Run away from bad company. Welcome

association with good people. Do meritorious acts continually. Remember what is

transient and what is permanent. Be with God, think with God, see with God and

dedicate all actions to God. Consider all as members of one Divine family.

Regard yourself as a trustee and use your wealth and talents for the good of

others. Use every opportunity to help others. Be compassionate at all times.

Students in particular should always be ready to go to the help of people in

distress. God today is in search of good men. Every one should strive to be

sincere in thought, word and deed. Then you need not go in search of God. God

will discover you.

A LESSON IN FRATERNITY

You have to develop fraternal feelings towards everyone. Here is an example from

the Ramayana. Once the four brothers as young lads were playing a game with a

ball. After the game Rama ran to Kausalya and rested on her lap. He was full of

joy. When Kausalya asked him why he was feeling so happy, Rama said that Bharata

had won in the game that day and that made him so happy. Kausalya remarked that

an elder brother rejoicing in the success of his younger brother is a great

example of brotherly love. Shortly thereafter Bharata came to Kausalya with a

sad look. Kauslaya asked him why he was feeling sad when he had won in the

game. Bharata said: "When I was about to lose the game, Rama managed to lose

the game and made me the winner. I am feeling unhappy because of the defeat of

my elder brother. Is it not sad that on my account my

elder brother should lose the game?" What an example of fraternal love! The

elder brother should rejoice in the success of the younger, even by losing the

game himself. This is the lesson taught by the Ramayana. In those days the four

brothers were in a supreme state of fraternal love. Today brothers go to the

Supreme Court for settling their disputes! This is not proper. Brothers should

be united and live in amity. The ideal of fraternal unity upheld in the

Ramayana should inspire the people today. Students! Strive for the welfare of

society as a whole. Experience God through love.
