Be Practical........

The sun, the Ganga, the flowers, the sandal trees, the fruit-bearing trees, the cows - all teach practical Vedanta to the world.
They live for serving the humanity in a disinterested spirit.
The sun radiates its light alike over a cottage of a peasant and a palace of a king.
The cool refreshing waters of the Ganga are drunk by all. The flowers waft their fragrance to all without expecting anything.
The sandal tree wafts its aroma even to the man who cuts it with an axe. All fruit-bearing trees behave in the same manner.
So Learn lessons from these practical Vedantins and become wise.

As the different streams
Having their sources in different places
All mingle their water in the sea,
So O Lord, the different s which men take,
Through various tendencies,
Various though they appear
Crooked or straight, All lead to thee.
Thus Vedanta teaches respect for all religions.
