"Obey the commands of your parents and God meticulously. Cultivate good behaviour. Then, everything will turn out to be good for you. Nothing will deter you. No difficulty will ever bother you.
It is only to enable you to put such good thoughts into practice that goddesses Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati are worshipped during these Dasara celebrations. Durga is not to be understood as a ferocious goddess. She is the goddess supreme who protects you.
Lakshmi is the embodiment of all wealth. Saraswati is the goddess of speech. Good thoughts, good words, and good actions (behaviour) represent the tattwa (nature) of these three goddesses. He who teaches good things to you is verily the embodiment of goddess Saraswati. He who teaches evil is verily a demon. Goddess Durga destroys only such demons. Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati are, in fact, not different from you. They are very much installed in your own heart. "

" They exhort you to lead the life of a human being, since you are a human being. Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati are the three mothers to a human being."
The above are the words from Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
Can we say this is the reciepie for a successful practical living theory in the material world?
Treasure these good words in your heart and put them into action. Thereby, come up in life and set an example to others. By your example, spread the message to the world that Bharatiya vidya (Indian education) is great.
