People have to change their vision, their thoughts, words and conduct. This is the meaning of Sankramana. Unless you purify yourself, what can any number of Sankrantis mean to you? You taste sweet prasadam. After some time, its taste is gone. It is not sweet food that is important. You must fill your life with holy thoughts. That is the purpose of sacred festivals. Young people ask why they should not enjoy freedom as fish, birds and animals do! They should understand that each of these creatures is enjoying freedom in accordance with their own sphere of life. Similarly, man should enjoy freedom related to his human condition. You cannot call yourself a human being and lead an animal’s life. Enjoy the freedom of a human being. To be free like an animal is to become an animal yourself! What is the freedom one can enjoy? Man is governed by certain restraints. He must adhere to truth, follow righteousness, cultivate love and live in peace. He must observe non-violence. Sticking to these five values, man can exercise his freedom! To exercise freedom in its true sense, man must respect five basic values. It is in that freedom he will find true bliss! – Divine Discourse, Jan 15, 1996.
