| "Sangha
Vani are the great truths realized and applied in
the life by the Sangha-Lord. Great men appear from
age to age and some truths are experimented and
established by their life of penance for the welfare
of the world". |

| 1. |
This country
has maintained close contact with God lifelong, and intends
to do so in future. This country is not that which has
accepted materialism is the summon bonum of life. This
country attaches greater importance to morality, religion
and spiritualism. |
| |
| 2. |
We must banish indolence,
drowsiness and indifference and cultivate vigorous capacity
for hard work so that it can inspire us to high endeavour,
infuse power and reawaken us. |
| |
|
| 3. |
To alter the religious
atmosphere at present prevailing in India, millions of
selfless workers are needed immediately. It is the influence
of these selfless persons that will change the attitude
of the people of the whole country. Then in that changed
atmosphere and attitude a new nation will be built up.
|
| |
|
| 4. |
Man wants power and peace,
where there is restraint, there is power and power begets
peace, surely. |
| |
|
| 5. |
Self-control is at the
root of health, happiness, peace and power. It gives immeasurable
enthusiasm, fervent zeal and strong perseverance in the
heart of a man. It gives him steadfastness and capacity
for endurance. |
| |
|
| 6. |
The only way to control
and pacify the restless mind is to fix ever-vigilant eyes
on the aims and ideals of life. |
| |
|
| 7. |
Mind finds its utmost
repose in thinking of and meditating on God. |
| |
|
| 8. |
Read every day, do study,
think and deliberate on the characters and lives of great
men. |
| |
|
| 9. |
At present, the greatest
need of the country is of men in the true sense of the
term. Building of manly qualities should get first priority
to the development of the country, the nation and of the
society. If we can not train up men properly, all our
efforts will be fruitless. That's why I have taken the
vow to build up men first of all. |
| |
|
| 10. |
The foundation of life
must be laid very firmly. Self-sacrifice, self-restraint,
adherence to truth and continence comprise the main foundation
of life. Life built well on this foundation, ensures development
of human qualities. |
