Someone has a habbit of listening to others. He always forms his opinion on the basis of what others say. He ultimately becomes a victim of his baseless opinion. We should listen a lot from a lot of people. We should also verify what others say at the level of our experience before taking any point of view.

Dont say no to anyone. One should understand the plus and minus of what he says. Do speak with some purpose in your mind. Dont speak for the sake of speaking. There are some people who are stubborn and useless. Still one should listen to what they say. This is how we should please the minds of many. If someone develops a twist in his mind then he nourishes that twist for a long time. Therefore those who are intelligent should not cause any twists in the minds of others. He who makes foolish people wise leads a worthy life. He who escalates the attrition is foolish. We should reach the mind of others. We should accept our defeat at times and turn the tables at an appropiate time. We should do all this with conscience and no one should know anything about it. Let us behave like others. Let us talk like others. Let us agree to others point of view. He who works for general good does not do anything bad. He maintains contacts with people. He tries to understand their mind and then he analyses further. He uses different means for reaching out to people. Where a stubborn meets a stubborn there is a disorder. If there is ill-will then there is no scope for intelligence. It is very easy to talk a lot but it is very difficult to execute. It is really very difficult to get over others mind.

Do bear the blows and slaps. Do bear the harsh and evil words. People who offend you will come back to you on feeling remorseful. You should speak after understanding the circumstances. You should not make out to others that you are intelligent. We should be humble whereever we go. We should see the houses in the villages and the cities. We should evaluate all people whether great or not great under the guise of asking for alms. You will find something of substance if you meet a lot of people. You may establish friendship with some great people. If you sit idle then nothing happens. So keep moving. One should be attentive at everything. One should understand the prevailing conditions before going to some place. Wherever one may go, one should keep one's conscience. One should read and recite a lot of things. One should do everything to soothe the minds of people. He who offers something that the people ask for is a great person and he is recognised by everyone. A person who is recognised by all is not a common person. Many people abide by what he says. These are the signs of cleverness. One who is clever is not lacking in anything whereever one goes.

People are greedy. The first word that they say is "Dev". "Dev" is a marathi word for God. "Dev" also means "give" in marathi. When people say "Dev" they mean to say "Give Something". This is what they crave for. People are zero on the front of devotion. Still they long for happiness. This is like asking for the payment from the employer without doing any work. There can be no good results without hard work. There can be no kingdom without the hardwork done by the King. You cannot get anything without hard work. He who is lethargic cannot get any result of his work. Those who are of low stature, they just shirk hard work. Those who undergo the pains of hard work at the begining reap the fruits of happiness later. Those who take pleasure in leisure at the begining become sad at the end. Whether it is the material world or the spiritual world what is required is conscience. One should understand the benefits of long term planning. He who spends everything that he earns cannot sustain in the difficult times. They are wise who have a perspective for a long term. Whether it be a spiritual world or a material world, there is a great significance of accumulation of merit. He who does harm to himself is no better than a person committing suicide.

Our mind is restless. It is changing its state every moment. If we try to calculate the total time lost due to restlessness of mind then that will be a very difficult calculation. What people say is that the God does everything. We can realise the God. God can be realised by someone only on the basis of conscience. We can identify conscience among people by making search. God is one but there are many differentiations that are visible. The differentiation is so glaring that we cannot say that it is not there. One should understand the God and also the divine action. People talk about this subject without knowing anything. They speak without sense and make out as if they are very intelligent. They should do something to quench their thirst. Those who have made tremendous efforts have enjoyed good fortune. Others are just babbling. A useless person cannot understand the good qualities of a good person. The intelligent ones understand the foolishness of fools. He who has a mind full of bad methods, how can he understand any good method. He considers bad things as good. He who loses purity of mind can do no good to himself. He is a big zero on the front of intelligent thinking. Only good intelligent thinking helps in the material and spiritual world. Only on the basis of good intelligent thinking we can understand what exists forever and what is for a while.
