While receiving God-Knowledge, a seeker pledges to follow five principles given as: 1. One should consider all one's worldly assets - physical, mental and material as ultimately belonging to God and one may utilized them as a trustee and should not be proud of these possessions. 2. One should not feel proud of one's religion, caste, colour and creed as also the status (Ashram); one should love every one as a fellow human being. 3. One should not hate or criticize others on account of their diet and dress which may be different from his or her own. 4. One must not leave one's hearth and home, become recluse or ascetic and be a burden on others; one must earn one's own livelihood through honest hard work and fulfil one's responsibilities as a family person. 5. One must not divulge to others the divine knowledge as revealed by the True Master, without a word from him. This will save him or her from the pride of being in possession of God-Knowledge.

The good ground

Once Lord Jesus Christ narrated a parable - The Parable of the Sower (Luke 8:5-15):
"A sower went out to sow his seed in his field. As he started sowing, some seed fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
"And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.
"And some fell among throns; and the throns sprang with it, and chocked it.
"And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold..."

"And his disciples asked him, saying. What might this parable be?

"And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand."
Explaining the true meaning of the parable and the four types of devotees, Lord Jesus said:
"The see is the word of God.
"Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
"They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
"And that which fall among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are chocked with cares and riches and pleasures of the life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
"But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, an bring forth fruit with patience."
Let us pray to our benevolent Babaji to bless us to be good ground - honest and good hearts - and nurse and nurture the 'seed' (the Word of God of God-knowledge - Gyan) with patience and faith to bear fruit - spiritual peace, bliss and happiness -, so that we may share the same with mankind.
