Gurupurnima Message
Human life is for self-realization and protecting creation, not destruction. A part of the universal One is within you; realize this. Time is the most precious commodity; it passes relentlessly and waits for no one. You cannot buy or stop it. Utilize it wisely for spiritual progress, or you will return empty. At death, you take nothing material—only your karma and destiny. You came alone and will depart alone. Therefore, understand why you came and where you are going. Fulfill your social duties with harmony and love while using this life for spiritual achievement. Make a resolve to abandon negativity, jealousy, anger, greed, and intoxicants. Become a pure vegetarian. Cultivate your human qualities. The immortal soul and ocean of bliss are within you; transcend the ego to live divinely. Concentrate on your spiritual aim above all else.
"Humans are born to attain self-realization and God-realization. There is God, there is a universal One, and a part of Him is within you."
"Utilize this beautiful human life for the achievement of your realization while fulfilling your social dharma duties."
