4.1 Nothing is understood by knowing the word enlightenment.

4.11 One must embark on this path to even know the meaning of this word.

4.12 You may put in rigorous effort still not find a glimpse of it. You may fall back again

and again but must try again and again. Like the spider trying to reach the ceiling fails

but succeeds eventually.

of seers who set out on this path and found some peace and bliss.

5.4 Love is a cause for celebration.

5.5 Love knows no hate. But can have pity on those who do not recognise it..

5.6 A meaningful life is life lived with dictates of love.

5.7 Love is truth. Everything else is ideology.

5.71 When you experience true love, analyse and observe it. It is the basis of all activities

in the universe.

5.72 True love kills. It kills the evil in you. It's a sharp knife that separates milk from water.

It separates pure from impure. Purity is divine. You are pure in your essence. This purity

is also at the core of matter. It is at the core of all celestial bodies - Earth, Sun, Moon,

Black Hole. It is this which exploded at the Big-Bang

6. Justice is the first principle of every formal organisation.

6.1 Demands of justice are more important than those of swatantrata and samanayata.

subsequently) then they are a participant in the act of injustice.

acts on the basis of self-interest or received knowledge, one does evil. This suppression

gets regimented and conditioned over time.

7.11 Listen to conscience and act accordingly. You will become firm in your beliefs.

You will become gentle in your conduct. You will be more loving and caring.

7.2 Do not participate in anything you don’t agree with. That is good will.

(Needs to be developed)

8. Hope that our tomorrow will be better than our past. So, act in the present!
