Narration
Translated
What is the key to victory in this journey of life? How can we achieve it? Bhagawan lovingly guides us today.
The Kauravas had all the instruments for victory - wealth, might of arms, allies, fanatic hatred of the enemy, kama! But, they all became dust, for they never paid heed to the higher values of Dharma; they did not equip themselves with the Grace of God, which is reserved for those who walk the path of humility and peace. Krishna was not their charioteer; they put their faith in lesser things. When plans are laid by the rulers for the uplift of the people and for training the children of the land, I want that the ancient wisdom of this land, still preserved and practised by the Pandits, must be consulted. That will keep the keel of the ship straight. I want that the knowledge embodied in the Upanishads should be handed down to everyone. Bhakti or devotion-directed education must take precedence over the Bhukti or enjoyment-directed schooling that prevails today in most countries of the world. Bhakti is the Asakti or yearning which goads you on to the spiritual discipline which will endow you with that Jnana. Have both faith and steadiness, and you will win.
- Divine Discourse, Apr 13, 1964.

It is only when you remain with good people and perform good actions that your devotion will remain firm and unshaken. - BABA
