¹Do you consider yourselves to be both love ful and lawful?

²Are you lawful to the same extent as you are loveful?

³Oris it that you cannot be lawful when you are loveful and you cannot be loveful when you are lawful? ⁴Are you able to reveal both these stages at the same time as your form in action?

⁵Until your stages of law and love become equal, you cannot constantly be the embodiment of success in your actions.

⁶In order to be the embodiment of success and the image of perfection, you need both these stages.

⁷You have to be lawful to the self also, not just to others.

⁸Those who are lawful to themselves can also be lawful to others.

⁹If you break any laws which apply to your own self, then you cannot lay down any laws for others. ¹⁰Then no matter how much you try to be lawful to others, you will not be able to be that.

¹¹Therefore, ask yourself: Have I become lawful with myself and with other souls?

¹²From morning till night, are you breaking any laws in your thoughts, actions, connections, in giving co­operation to one another or in service?

¹³Those who are law­breakers cannot become the makers of the new world; the peacemakers or the new­ world makers.

¹⁴So check yourself: Am I a new­ world maker, a peace­maker and a law­maker, or, am I a law­breaker?

¹⁵Would the law­makers who break the law be called the law­makers? ¹⁶Do all of you clearly know what the Godly disciplines are, or do you still have to know these?

¹⁷What does it mean to know them?

¹⁸To know means to follow them.

¹⁹After knowing, you accept them and after accepting them, you have to follow them.

²⁰So, should it be understood that all those who are sitting here know all the laws, that is, that they are following them?

²¹Are you following the timetable from amrit vela onwards according to the Godly laws? ²²Or, is there a percentage in that?

²³Is there a percentage in knowing the laws?

²⁴If there isn't a percentage in knowing the laws, but there is a percentage in following them after knowing them, how can you call that knowing the laws?

²⁵Is it because you do not know them accurately that you are not able to follow them? ²⁶Or, is it that you know them but you are not able to follow them?

²⁷What would you say? ²⁸Since you say that here, your knowing, accepting and following are all the same, why is there still this difference?

²⁹You tell those who do not have any knowledge that they know that they are souls, but that they do not conduct themselves accordingly whilst knowing this.

³⁰You also know which are the Godly law sand which are not. ³¹If after knowing them, you don't follow them, what would you call this stage?

³²(Effort.) ³³Is it that you are forgiven your mistakes in your effort­making life?

³⁴Just as the shield of saying "Drama!", gives you support, in the same way, the word "effort­maker" is also a very good shield when you are being defeated or are not being successful.

³⁵Is this shield shown as one of your weapons?

³⁶Would such souls be called effort­makers?

³⁷What meaning do you make of the word "effort"?

³⁸It means that whilst you are in that chariot, you have to conduct yourself considering yourself to be a soul.

³⁹This is called an effort­maker (purush arth ­ doing something for the sake of the being). ⁴⁰Who is the one who is making this effort, that is, who is the master, who remains stable in the stage of soul consciousness?

⁴¹It is the soul, is it not?

⁴²So an effort­maker means one who considers himself to be a soul.

⁴³Such effort makers can never be defeated. ⁴⁴So do not use the word effort in that way.

⁴⁵Yes, you can say that when you stopmaking effort, then you are defeated.

⁴⁶If you are engaged in making effort very well, you cannot be defeated. ⁴⁷If there is a difference between knowing them and following them, then those with such a stage cannot be called effort­makers.

⁴⁸An effort­maker always continues to move forward whilst keeping his destination in front of him.

⁴⁹He nevercomes to a standstill: he may look at the side­scenes that now and again come in­ between, but he never stops.

⁵⁰Do you see or do you not see whilst seeing?

⁵¹If you stop when you see something in front of you, then those who continue to move along with such a stage cannot be called effort­makers.

⁵²An effort­maker never lets go of his courage and enthusiasm. ⁵³If you constantly have courage and enthusiasm with you, then you are constantly victorious.

⁵⁴It is only when you do not have any courage or when, instead of enthusiasm, you have one or another type of laziness, that you are defeated.

⁵⁵And by making a little mistake, even though you are the law­makers, instead of being lawful, you yourselves become the law­breakers.

⁵⁶What is that little mistake? ⁵⁷It is a mistake of just one vowel.

⁵⁸By the difference of one vowel, from being the law­makers, you become the law­breakers.

⁵⁹The difference of just one vowel in the words is: instead of "Shiv", you look at "shav" (corpse).

⁶⁰By seeing the corpse, you forget Shiva.

⁶¹The word Shiva changes and it becomes poison (vish).

⁶²The poison is of the vices.

⁶³With the differene of it being turned the other way round, it becomes poison (Shiv ­ vish).

⁶⁴The result of that is also likewise.

⁶⁵Once you have been turnedthe other way round, the result will of course also be wrong.

⁶⁶Therefore, do not ever look at the corpse, that is, do notsee this body.

⁶⁷By seeing it, or by staying in the awareness of the body, you are breaking the law.

⁶⁸If you constantlykeep yourselves within the law that you must not look at the corpse, but that you must look at Shiva, then you cannever be defeated in any aspect. ⁶⁹Maya will not then attack you.

⁷⁰You are defeated when Maya attacks you.
