Do you all know the rosary of your own virtues? To what extent are you adorned? Do you look at this portrait of yours? Father Brahma was drawing their portraits like an artist draws a line drawing. He was drawing your portraits with your lines of fortune. You too can draw your own portrait. You can draw a picture of your own fortune, can you not?  Each virtue was like a diamond of a variety of forms and colours. There were four particular types of colour. The four colours of the four main subjects were portrayed. You know the subjects, do you not? Knowledge, yoga, virtues and service. What is the colour of someone who is an embodiment of knowledge? The colour of someone who is an embodiment of knowledge is golden. What do you do when you sit here in remembrance? You have a red-coloured light.  The symbol for inculcation of divine virtues is The colour white. By serving, you create greenery everywhere. This is what the four colours represent. Everyone’s neck is adorned with diamond rosaries of these four colours. 

Why there is a difference between all of you? The difference is very small. Everyone thinks about it and everyone does it; but some think of it and do it at the same time, that is, their thinking and doing are simultaneous. Therefore, they are becoming complete. Others think and also do, but there is a gap between their thinking and their doing. It is similar to the difference between eating something hot and fresh and eating something cold and stale. There is a difference in the strength you receive from eating something fresh and something stale. No matter how delicious something is, when it is kept for some time, it does not give the same result as it would if eaten fresh. Second, because of the gap in time, problems come in the form of obstacles. Therefore, let your thinking and doing be simultaneous. This is known as making an instant donation and accumulating great charity.
