It is these five vices which make human beings fall from their elevated state and their actions become corrupted. Now the Father sits and explains how to reform one’s actions, and make them elevated. The Father says that you will attain constant happiness – you will become ever-healthy, ever-happy, and will attain the facility of constant happiness in life – through elevated actions. It is not possible to attain happiness without elevated actions. That purpose will not be served merely by having a desire for peace and happiness. One must know the method, the yukti.
Today in the world people are seeking different methods for world peace; and they try a lot to attain many facilities for happiness. However, in practice, there is no gain. Today, science has reached so far and so high! They have reached the moon and the stars. Despite reaching so high, however, life is going down.
What is the foundation for elevating our life? The foundation is purity. First purity, then peace and prosperity follow. There is no peace and prosperity without purity. Actions become elevated only through purity. If actions are not elevated, how can we enjoy elevated fruit? How can we reap good fruit if actions are not right? We receive fruit from karma. We have the desire to eat fruit, but where is it to come from? Now, we should sow the seed for it.
This is a battlefield. It is mentioned in the Gita that this is a battlefield. This is known as the field of actions: whatever we sow, we reap. However, we must have the right knowledge of what to do and what not to do.
Everyone knows that one has to speak the truth, never tell lies, never deceive anyone, and never do sinful actions. This is common information that we all know. But we must also know what the truth is. It is right that we must speak the truth, but what is the truth? The truth is to know who I am. We are souls, and our karmas [actions] have connection with soul. Through these karmas, we become elevated, and these are the cause of our downfall also. So we should have an accurate knowledge of all these aspects.
