Life means not revelry—eating, drinking and making merry but praising God, i. e., rendering true service to humanity.

What distinguishes man from animals ? Comprehensive think­ing on this question will solve a lot of our problems.

In this mornings bhajan it was said : God never forgets us; it is we who forget Him. And that is our misery.

When God does not wish it, neither wealth nor parents, nor the best of physicians, will save us. What, then, should we do?

Have we any right to pray so long as we have not purged ourselves of our impurities?

A man may use a rosary because it is blessed by a saint or made of sacred tulsi1, sandalwood or rudraksha beads. But if the user looks upon the rosary as all, he had better throw it away. If, however, the rosary draws him nearer to God and makes him alive to the performance of his duties, he may certainly use it regularly.

There is a sentence in the New Testment : Let there be no care in thy heart, nor fear of aught.2 This is for those who have faith in God.

The same New Testment tells us that if God leads us into temptation, He also delivers us from evil.3 This is applicable only to those who do not, of their own accord, succumb to temptation.
