A person cannot acquire beauty like sharp features etc. through efforts. These parameters are set at the time of the birth and cannot be changed. But there are other parameters that can be changed. A dark person cannot become fair. There is no remedy for marks left on the body by small pox. A dumb person cannot speak. These are said to be the natural parameters. A blind cannot see. A deaf cannot hear. A handicapped person cannot do anything for the organ that is not there. The list of deformities for which there is no remedy can be very long. But there are some parameters that can be set right by any person. A person can shun the bad qualities. He can acquire good qualities. The wrong methods of living should be shunned. The right methods of living should be practised. If shown the exit route, foolishness can go. One can develop the style of analytical thinking. One can understand any work in the course of doing it. One likes to get recognition. Then why should he neglect learning. A person who is not intelligent cannot rise to a higher position. We should do good to us having understood this point. He who follows path of goodness is liked by good people.

Someone has beautified his body. This is not of any use if he does not have the intelligence. He is doing something that does not have the underlying fundamentals. He should beautify his mind and intellect in various ways instead. He should create a resource base for his mind and intellect every bit by bit. He who does not make any efforts, does not learn, does not put any strain on his body, is not able to learn any good qualities and he runs a short temperament.

Whatever we do to others, we are at the same time doing it to us on credit basis. The very same thing that we have done to others will happen to us in the future. If we are putting others to trouble then we will be put to trouble in the future. He is intelligent who understands the principles of equity. He who is not judicious is miserable. The various marks of intelligence are recognised by the one who is intelligent. The actions that are liked by many are recognised by many. Other actions go waste. The world hates such useless actions. It is we who decide how people will react to us. Whether they will be satisfied with us or they will be angry with us. If we are satisfied with someone then he is also satisfied. If we are friendly to someone then he is also friendly to us. Whatever good has come into existence through consistent efforts can cease to exist in one shot. Kindness begets kindness. Hostility begets hostility. Why should we act without purpose knowing all this? Clothing decorates the exterior while intelligence decorates the interior. You have to decide which one is better.

What is the outcome tell me by beautifying the exterior? Intelligence has protected people in a number of ways. One should have good meals, good clothing and one should be recognised by all, this is what one wants. He who wears out his mind and body gains recognition from people. Those who think of other means of getting recognition will feel sad in the future. He who completes the work of people that has stuck somewhere becomes a source of attraction for people. All people will come to him for the sake of their work. Therefore he who makes others happy becomes happy. He who is putting others to hardships will undergo hardships. This is clearly visible. He who does not see this, cannot understand the truth. Therefore everyone should understand this. Those who have understood this and acted accordingly have become great. The rest of all are useless.

The wealth of a person is proportional to the systematic activity that he undertakes. As the wealth rises, the interaction with people also rise. We should understand the things that are very clear. If one is lethargic then he cannot complete any work and whatever work he has done is wasted. He who works meticulously completes his work. He who cannot understand this simple fact cannot be called a sane person. If the atmosphere is of friendliness then the work is accomplished. If the atmosphere is of enmity then the work gets sabotaged. Whatever has been said tell me whether it is true or false. He who is not taking any efforts to become wise is not doing any benefit to himself. He is not friendly to people and is hostile to all. He who behaves like this should be called as an ignorant. Who can gain satisfaction in company of such persons. He is all alone and is fighting against the world. How can a lonely person be successful against many. One should occupy a place in the mind of people and in their discussions. One should display good qualities while having interaction with the people. One should enlighten the people. One should work for the upliftment of the downtrodden. One should contribute to cause a rise in devotion to God.
