Hindu Wisdom

It is true that we can and should enjoy the world. But let Mother ask a

question. If we drive in the road wherever we feel like it, won’t there

be accidents? The world is like a road and our life is like a vehicle.

Just as we are observing certain rules of the road for the good of

ourselves and others, we should observe the rules laid down by the Lord

so that we will reach the goal of Realization quickly and safely. A

bottle of vitamin tonic has instructions written on it as regards

dosage. We should neither take more than the prescribed dose nor less.

Otherwise, the desired effect will not be gained. Likewise, the rules of

spirituality aim at regulating our life in a balanced and beneficial

way. If we eat too much chocolate, we will get sick to our stomach. If

we turn up the heat too much in our room, we will feel enervated.

Similarly, excessive enjoyment will do us harm. By following a moderate

course, we will be able to reach our goal.
