One must give a shape to one’s life in such a way that one earns the grace of God. We should follow a sacred path. Having been born, we should do all that is necessary to see that we are not born again. When we meet our death, we should meet it in such a way that we do not meet it a second time. This is indeed the secret of man’s life. But today, in man’s life, to the extent to which the knowledge of science has grown, to that extent the strength of man has become less. As science has progressed, the sense that is present in human beings has become less and less. What you call science can give you material pleasure, but it cannot give you any bliss of the atma. Spirituality leads you to the aspect of completeness. Every human being must realise this completeness, or the total knowledge contained in spirituality. The word ‘man’ or manava has three letters - ma, na, and va in it. Here, ma signifies ignorance or lack of knowledge. Na means getting rid of such darkness or ignorance, and va implies your conduct. Thus, the word manava means that you should conduct yourself in a manner by which you will eliminate total darkness and ignorance. - Summer Showers Jun 14, 1978
