God
has gifted us with a wonderful life. Besides, He bestowed us with
the powers of will, intellect and action. He even conferred the
gift of experiencing divine bliss. At the same time, God entrusted
us with some responsibilities. We have the ability to engage ourselves
in the field of education, agriculture, trade and business. Along
with them, it is our responsibility to have friendly relations with
our fellowmen, live in amity and serve selflessly. We should not
pride ourselves to be very intelligent simply because we are educated.
We must think knowledge is an instrument of power to realize God.
The house-holder's life is an important phase of life. Wife and
husband should not think that married life is a means of material
pleasure. They must work hard, earn money and take care of their
aged parents. They must help the poor and needy around them. House-holders
should act as wish-fulfilling trees. They must treat the hungry
and starving as God and feed them. One must realize that God unites
men and women in the bond of marriage not for selfish intents but
for serving the society. Baba wants His devotees to live by their
innate nature of good. When Baba is pleased of the upright path
the house-holders tread and the sincere discharge of worldly duties,
He will bless them with good children and live in peace at His feet.
