Righteousness<br />

<strong>The</strong> entire cosmos has emerged from Truth. And it will merge back in<br />

Truth. Where is the place beyond the sway of Truth? Behold, brothers,<br />

that which is the pure Truth!<br />

Embodiments of Divine love, dear students, teachers <strong>and</strong> patrons of<br />

education! To every man born on earth, Truth is the visible God. <strong>The</strong><br />

entire universe consisting of movable <strong>and</strong> immovable objects has<br />

emerged from truth. Truth is indeed God. Truth is endless. According<br />

to Vedantins, truth is synonymous with the eternal self. Hence truth<br />

alone has to be revered by everyone. Indians are wedded to truth <strong>and</strong><br />

Righteousness. (...)<br />

Truth <strong>and</strong> Righteousness will never submit to anything. All kinds of<br />

power, whether physical, intellectual, monetary, military or political,<br />

have to bend before Truth <strong>and</strong> Righteousness; but the latter will yield<br />

to none. Truth <strong>and</strong> Righteousness will always triumph. (40-1)<br />

Today, though in outward appearance people are human, in inner impulse<br />

they are sub-human. (...)<br />

Man has lost his glory <strong>and</strong> his power <strong>and</strong> his splendour: he must win<br />

them again by spiritual discipline. So, make yourselves pure by incessant<br />

striving. 28.12.60, (16-14)<br />

Man has to lift himself from the animal level through his own spiritual<br />

discipline. <strong>The</strong>re are three types of men: the animal type, the human<br />

type <strong>and</strong> the Divine type. Man has evolved from the stone through<br />

plant <strong>and</strong> tree, worm <strong>and</strong> insect, bird <strong>and</strong> animal; but some are still<br />

grovelling in the early stages through they have achieved the human<br />

form. (...)<br />

<strong>The</strong> world is a huge hospital <strong>and</strong> humanity is bedridden. Some are<br />

writhing in the pain of envy, some are bloated with pride, some are losing<br />

sleep through hate, some have become blind through miserliness,<br />

some are struck down by selfishness; every one has some illness or<br />

other. 27.7.61, (16-69/71)<br />

That is the reward for humility <strong>and</strong> reverence. <strong>The</strong>se qualities are fast<br />

disappearing in the cities <strong>and</strong> towns; the pest is spreading fast destroying<br />

crops in villages also. But, they are still powerless to affect the simplicity<br />

<strong>and</strong> sincerity of village life. That is the reason why I like villages<br />
