A person who is good at preaching can fill mind of many disciples with devotion to God. He should also be able to understand the mind of his disciples. Whatever has been said earlier in the context of good qualities should be taken as standard. Let me continue with the effective preaching. One should do what he says. People attach great significance to the words of such persons. Whatever people don't like they don't accept. We are lonely and people are in large numbers. We have to live within people. We should teach them bit by bit. We should use our conscience to elevate people to the level that we have set for them in our mind. Those who are having conscience can respond to the call of our conscience. Others who lack conscience will start conflicts. There are many on the other end and we are alone at this end. Can one who is alone ever sustain? Thatswhy take into confidence the majority of people.

You can make a garland of leaves, flowers, stones, gems, fruits and anything you wish. What is common in all of these is the thread that runs through. If there is no thread then how can the garland be together? Now if someone says that the eternal spirit is similar to the thread that holds together the garland then he is not speaking the truth. A thread that runs through the garland is distinct from its other constituents. The eternal spirit is all-pervading. The eternal spirit is very dynamic. The thread cannot move on its own. Therefore thread is not a good simulation for the eternal spirit.

There is an element of water in the fluid of creepers. A sugar-cane is full of juice. Still there is a difference between the fluid in creepers and the juice in sugar-cane. Similarly the juice of sugar-cane and the stuff that remains after squeezing the sugarcane are not same. A spirit resides in the body. The body is not same as the spirit. The eternal spirit is still different. The eternal spirit is matchless and cannot be described. A beggar is a human-being and so is a King. How can anyone say that they are same? God, demon, human-being, a creature of a low breeed like an insect.... this is how the differentiation goes on. There is a huge difference between committing sin and earning merit. The spirit is doing a sin as well as earning merit. Still the capability of doing is altogether different. One will lead to salvation while the other one to hell. A poison is a liquid and water is also a liquid. It is absurd to compare them. There is a spirit residing in the body of a sinner and a person of merit. Still we should understand that there is a clear dividing line in between.

It is true that the eternal spirit is pervading through all. That does not mean that we should have intimacy with an evil person. How can a learned person and small kids be treated at par? A human-being and a donkey; a swan and a cock; a king and a monkey; how can they be considered as equal. Water of ganges and waste-water cannot be same. Anyone cant drink a handful of waste-water. Thatswhy be a man of good action. More than that be a man of good thoughts. You should be detached and intelligent. If in your opinion a coward is more significant than a brave person then who will save you in the battle-field. You can never say that a relationship with a beggar and that with a king is equivalent. Although there is an element of water in the fluid that does not mean that the fluid is fit for consumption. Food is formed from water. The stuff that is ejected while vommitting also contains some element of food. Still this stuff is not at all fit for consumption. This is how we should part with the evil and have the great in our mind. This will lead to spreading of our good fame all around.

A person who is good likes everything that is good. A person who is not good does not like this. This is how the useless people have come to existence. Don't act like a useless fellow. Be good. You should understand the glory of God. You should understand the principles of equity. You should have the conscience of behaving. You should keep all people in good humour. You should have patience to cause elevation of people bit by bit. We are very kind to our child. We move like our child while teaching the child. We should do the same thing while teaching people. The main thing is that we should understand others. One who is intelligent can understand intelligent action. But what about the fools. A fool should not be called a fool. We should not expose anybody in public. One who is not entangled has ability to make great victories. One should arrange great events at great number of places. One should understand the basics that are required for this. One should be very intimate to the minds of all. If we understand others then our mind comes to the level of the minds of others. If we disregard others then there is chaos. He is great who understands others. People are strongly attracted towards such a person.
