“You have a jewel in your hand but you do not understand its value. In the same way, you cannot cross the worldly ocean. You know that a man is mortal but still you seem to be unaware of death and you want to live for ever. Death is always hovering over you but you are not serious about it. What comes from reading the Vedas if you do not know their true meaning, which is known only through meditation on the Knowledge acquired from the Spiritual Master? A person cannot call himself realised if he doesn't have this Spiritual Knowledge. Mind is becoming dirtier by the dross of sanskaras without Spiritual Knowledge. Devotion is the way to clean it.”
