¹A true spiritual Vaishnav is one whose intellect is not touched by the vices.

²Om shanti.

³When we say om shanti we remind one another of Baba.

⁴When a teacher conducts drill, he says: Attention.

⁵Here, too, by first saying om shanti, you have to make your intellect still with the awareness: I the soul am a child of the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul.

⁶Those who read the scriptures give a very complicated meaning of om, but its meaning is very simple: Simply remain soul-conscious.

⁷When you walk and move around, you should remember your Father in the intellect.

⁸Baba says: Children, I alone am the Almighty Authority.

⁹So you have to claim all attainments of the fortune of the kingdom, happiness, peace, power, purity and everything from the One.

¹⁰Just to claim peace is not claiming everything.

¹¹Many think that material objects have given sorrow, and this is why they say that they do not wish to become deities.

¹²Instead, they say that they just wish to sit in the land of liberation.

¹³To sit in liberation is not a stage.

¹⁴That is the stage of being inactive.

¹⁵There is no peace, happiness or comfort in that stage.

¹⁶That is the stage of being beyond peace and peacelessness.

¹⁷It doesn't mean that that is a comfortable stage.

¹⁸Many have considered eternal liberation to be the highest.

¹⁹They have been hearing about this for many births and so that sanskar has become deeply embedded.

²⁰Many even come here and say that they just like to sit in yoga, and that they cannot understand our knowledge.

²¹So we can understand that the poor soul is not going to claim a high status.

²²Perhaps he is a soul who will just sit in liberation.

²³In fact, the imperishable knowledge and yoga cannot be destroyed: a reward is definitely received.

²⁴However, you can only receive everything completely if you study fully.

²⁵So much is earned in every minute of ours.

²⁶The main thing is to pay attention to the thoughts, words and actions, because if there are wasteful thoughts in the mind, that is also a waste of time.

²⁷So you have to make good use of your time.

²⁸The more time we save, the more benefit there is.

²⁹So you have to pay attention to your thoughts, words and actions at every second so that you do not perform any unworthy actions.

³⁰For this, you have to become a true, spiritual Vaishnav so that none of the vices can touch the soul.

³¹The first disease is that of the five vices and so you have to be liberated from this disease.

³²It is said: Good company takes you across whereas bad company drowns you.

³³The company of those who indulge in vire is bad company from which you have to free yourself.

³⁴You should not run away like the sannyasis.

³⁵No, we have to live among the family and yet save ourselves.

³⁶We too have to be in the company of those who indulge in vice in order to bring benefit to them.

³⁷When the sickness of the plague spreads, everyone says: Stay away from this one. ³⁸Do not sit with this one.

³⁹But the doctors have to touch the patients in order to help them.

⁴⁰We are the spiritual surgeons and so we have to come into contact with those souls in order to help remove their disease.

⁴¹Even if we were to move away from them, who would help to make them free from disease?

⁴²Firemen have protective clothing so that they are not affected by fire. ⁴³In the same way, we have the annour of knowledge and yoga and so we cannot be attacked by Maya.

⁴⁴Achcha.
