You should not waste your life in merely eating, drinking, and sleeping. In fact such a life is a blot on human nature itself. Every activity of yours should reflect the divine message. Unfortunately, this is not the case today. Some people claim that they have dedicated their lives to the mission of God. But in reality it is not so. They are wasting their precious time in materialistic pursuits. There is nothing wrong in studying, doing jobs, and earning money provided they are done in the right spirit, which is beneficial to one and all. You see many people suffering. In what way are you helping them? The dualities of life such as pain and pleasure go hand in hand; they co-exist. It is impossible to separate them. Pleasure does not exist separately. The fructification of pain is pleasure. This message of truth must be taught to the en tire world. Without pain, one does not realise the value of pleasure. The value of light can be realised only when there is darkness.
- Divine Discourse, 25th Dec 1988.
