Narration
Translated
On the occasion of Vishu (Kerala New Year), what should we do to be always successful in any of our endeavours? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today. Some people say that they have not got any benefit in spite of chanting the divine name for twenty to thirty years. No benefit accrues from chanting the divine name if the mind is filled with impurities. First, purify your mind and fill it with positive feelings. Only then you can experience the benefit of chanting the divine name. At least from today onwards, cultivate noble feelings. Talk sweetly and softly. You cannot always oblige, but you can always speak obligingly. Embodiments of Love! On the New Year Day, it is a practice to mix sweet, sour and bitter things and eat them. It is to indicate that joy and sorrow have to be treated with equanimity. It is the tongue that tastes the delicacy and it is the heart that tastes love. The taste of love is peerless. It is sweeter than even nectar. Love alone can match love. God is love, love is God. Live in love. Whatever bhajans you sing, sing with love. God is Bhavapriya. He sees your feelings, not the rhythm or tune. If your feelings are pure, God will take care of everything!

A heart devoid of love is no better than a body without life. Love is life. Love is God. - BABA
