Narration
Translated
What are the true traits of a human being? Bhagawan lovingly and clearly explains to us today! Man has to become aware of his genuine nature and be established in that. Or else, he ceases to be entitled to that name. When fire does not burn or when water does not flow, can they lay claim to those names? Genuineness consists in being true to the deepest core. Man has Truth as his nature. That is to say, man's behaviour should always be true; he will speak out only what he feels to be sincere. Likewise, he should act according to his words; his thought, word and action should be consistent and complementary. If in any one case, this concordance is absent, then, that person is a man only in outer form. He is worse than a beast, for, beasts are free from the burdens of thought and speech. All things in Creation are subject to the law of change and man too is subject to his law. But, man should use the law for progress, and not for sliding lower in the scale. Dharma (righteousness) is the norm, which he must adhere to, so that he changes from good to better and from better to the best.

"
The heart is the lock, mind the key. When the mind is turned Godward the heart develops detachment. When turned towards the world, it develops attachment. - BABA
