MESSAGE TO YOUTH

the Youth

THOUGHTS

We are what out thoughts have made us;

so take care about what you think.

Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

GOAL

Take up one idea.

Make that one idea your life.

Think of it, dream of it.

Live on that idea.

Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body Be full of that idea.

This the way to "SUCCESS”.

CONCENTRATION

When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is

transformed in to an actual physical or mental state.

EDUCATION

Education is the man ifestation of perfection already in man.

WORK

Every duty is holy, and devotion to duty is the highest form of the worship of God.

When you are doing any work, do not think of anything beyond. Do it as worship, As the highest worship, and devote your whole life to it for the time being.

CHARACTER

Neither money pays, nor name, nor fame, nor learning,

it is CHARACTER

that can cleave through adamantine walls of difficulties.

MATURITY

It is good to be born a child;

but bad to remain a child

If you think that the infinite power,

infinite knowledge, and indomitable energy

lie within you, and if you can bring out that power,

You also can be like Me.
