Don't forget what you promised
Human life is for Self-realization and protecting all creatures through non-violence and spiritual practice, guided by Guru Bhakti. No one attains the highest consciousness without a Gurudev, as exemplified by divine figures who also had masters. Remember the promise made to God to use this human birth for reaching Brahman through devotion, and do not neglect this purpose. Wasting time in idle pursuits is a grave sin, while satsaṅg and sādhanā are essential. Develop human qualities to create harmony, not conflict, and contribute to world peace.
"This life is given to us to attain Self-realization."
"To waste time is a great sin against time."
