Today, the Father is looking at you different stars. Each of you stars has your own speciality. Even the tiny stars make this constellation look very beautiful. The big stars are big anyway, but the beauty of this constellation increases even more with the sparkle of you tiny stars. Even the tiniest of you stars is absolutely necessary. Just as parents discuss at home the virtues, duties and behaviour of each child in their limited family, similarly, the unlimited parents, the Sun of Knowledge and the moon of knowledge, were discussing the specialities of all the stars in this unlimited family.  There is one aspect in which the speciality and greatness of each of you is very clear. Each of you has the speciality of knowing the Father and belonging to the Father. Each of you has this speciality and greatness. You don’t think, “What speciality do I have?” Or, “I have no virtues”, do you? Those are the words of devotees, “I do not have any virtues”. To be a child of the Father, the Ocean of Virtues, means to be virtuous. 

You are not weak, but strong because you are master almighty authorities. There is no arrogance in spirituality. Instead of arrogance, there is self-respect. Self-respect means respect for oneself, the soul. There is a difference between self-respect and arrogance. Therefore, constantly remain seated on your seat of self-respect. Any seat of arrogance looks very beautifully decorated. It looks very comfortable and appealing, but it is really a seat of thorns. You think: So-and-so has experienced this, so why shouldn’t I do the same? So, even though you are pricked by its thorns when you sit on it, you can’t let go of it. Therefore, never try to sit on the externally beautiful seat of arrogance that can deceive you. When you are seated on your seat of self-respect, you will experience yourselves to be constantly happy, always elevated and an embodiment of all attainments.
