The head has its value while there is life. Hence, the head should be used while you are alive to acquire merit by placing it at the feet of holy ones. This is the value of prostrating before noble souls. While one is alive, one should engage in good deeds and lead a sacred and meaningful life. All relationships are confined to the living. God alone is the only unfailing kinsman throughout life and beyond it. He is the only constant companion wherever you may be. Realise that life is impermanent. Only your good deeds will protect you. Peace, truth and virtue have to be acquired only through your actions. Achieve proximity to God and then become one with God. Today you call yourself human. If you develop your devotion to God, you can divinise yourself. Divinity is your real nature. This has been proclaimed by the Upanishads in the famous declarations Aham Brahmasmi (I am Brahman), Ayam Atma Brahma (This Atma is Brahman), and Tat-Tvam-Asi (That thou art). Develop this conviction, with confidence and courage. – Divine Discourse, Apr 07, 1997.
