“I want to tell you that there is no reason for anxiety or dejection. You were born to do karma (work, action), so continue to do karma. Karma is the highest thing in this world. Only through karma can man advance, Lazy, idle people are always in trouble. Karma is supreme.
All of you have worked very hard here. I want to thank you for it. The gardens you have made here with such perseverance are unique. In future times this will be remembered as a historical fact. It is nothing to accomplish such work in places like Delhi or Calcutta, but to create such gardens above the river by conquering nature is a great thing. So you must all continue to make progress.
To others, too, you should give teachings of karma. In this age, you can attain liberation only through karma. In other ages, people have practiced many different forms of yoga and sadhana [religious practices], but in this age no other sadhana than karma yoga will give you liberation. Go on working while repeating God’s name. You cannot comprehend the high value of karma while repeating God’s name.
Man’s mind is very fast, faster than the wind. By doing work while repeating God’s name, your mind becomes cleansed of thoughts and useless, negative thoughts cannot enter it. To uplift man, for the progress of the whole of humanity, karma is a great sadhana. All of you, therefore, continue to make progress through karma.”
