As many people celebrate their New Year, what is a worthy New Year's resolution we could consider?
You need not have a necklace for the neck. Speak truth; that is the real ornament.
The jewels for the hand are not bangles; charity is the real jewel.
Do not misuse your ears to hear worldly gossip. It is not the earrings which are real jewels for the ears, listening to good words is the real decoration.
What other ornaments do you need than these? That is the real jewellery. That is the only beauty.
When you have that real beauty, you can attain bliss. Beauty and bliss are not separate.
Beauty is bliss. Bliss is life's nectar. Understand and experience the sweetness of bliss.
The New Year has commenced. From today onwards, listen only to good things, speak only good words and do only good actions. Through these things, we should have purity of heart.
Make your life sacred by always thinking of the Divine. If people adopt this sacred path, there will be peace and prosperity in the world.

He in the form of conscience activates the body. When man understands this truth of spirituality, he will never indulge in bad deeds.

It's all about "how much you made when you were right" & "how little you lost when you were wrong"

What is the mantra that will aid us in leading a good human life and also march towards the realisation of our inherent Divinity?
Your eyes are very small in dimension, not even half an inch. But you are able to see vast areas of land and even the stars, which are millions of miles away.
Where do the eyes get such power from? It is only Divine Power.
You have a new torchlight with a new bulb and a new switch. But you cannot get the light unless you put the cells inside.
Your body is the torch. The eye is the bulb. Intellect is the switch. Only if you put in the cells of new thoughts will you have the enlightening experience of good feelings.
In this New Year, you should breed good thoughts. Think of Him who is in you, around you, above you, and below you. Divinity is there around and within you.
You cannot survive even a second without Divinity. You should always say to yourself: “I am man, I am not an animal.”
If you say, “I am man”, it is only half the truth. With a human form, you breed animal qualities. You should always recall, “I am not an animal.”
The combination of the two will make you desist from indulging in animal nature. The unification of these two will make you realise your Divinity, which is the truth.
Sacred thoughts are essential. They are the real rituals you should do.

Look upon spirituality and morality as the two eyes of human existence.

What should our attitude be towards our duties and our profession?
Without working hard, you cannot get any reward. But nowadays, man is not prepared to work hard.
In the past, people would offer their salutations to karma before undertaking it:
Salutations to action. We have to offer our salutations to karma in the first instance so that it gives us good results.
In Bharat, some people follow this sacred tradition even today.
A cricket player pays his respects to the ball before starting to bowl. A dancer salutes the anklets before tying them to her feet. Even an uneducated driver offers his obeisance to the steering wheel before driving the vehicle. But most of the educated people have forgotten such an ancient tradition and culture. That is why accidents are on the rise.
There is a sense of fear and insecurity among people.
First of all, we must offer our respects and express our gratitude to karma before undertaking it. Everyone must understand his duty and perform it to the best of their ability.

When man does his duty sincerely, there will be no shortage of food and water. Without working hard, one cannot lead a happy life.

What must we do if we hope for a good and bright future?
No one but Him knows about the future; so it is said that He alone has three eyes (the third eye refers to the knowledge of the future), whereas man has only two.
However, if you have had full control over yourself in the past and do have it at present also, then your future would be entirely in your hands.
Today, Man is all the time thinking about the past and worrying about the future. Always it is: Past, future; past, future; past, future!
Brooding over the past and worrying about the future, man loses track of the present.
You must not forget that the present is a product of the past; it is also the seed for the future.
The past and future are thus embedded in the present. Man does not seem to appreciate this basic truth.
If you want a good and bright future, then make proper use of the present. The present is a tree that has sprung from a seed called the past. This tree also has the seed for the future. Thus, the future is already here!
The best way to take care of the present is to ensure that your talk is always sacred. Where do the words originate? From the mind. Therefore, good talk implies that the mind also is good.
- Divine Discourse, May 16, 2000
One should endeavour to make good use of the present. Results of the past and the forebodings of the future are both available in the present.
