What is the mantra that will aid us in leading a good human life and also march towards the realisation of our inherent Divinity?

Bhagawan reminds us on the auspicious occasion of Vishu.
Your eyes are very small in dimension, not even half an inch. But you are able to see vast areas of land and even the stars, which are millions of miles away. Where do the eyes get such power from? It is only Divine Power. You have a new torchlight with a new bulb and a new switch. But you cannot get the light unless you put the cells inside. Your body is the torch. The eye is the bulb. Intellect is the switch. Only if you put in the cells of new thoughts will you have the enlightening experience of good feelings. In this Tamil New Year and Vishu, you should breed good thoughts. Think of God who is in you, around you, above you, and below you. Divinity is there around and within you. You cannot survive even a second without Divinity. You should always say to yourself: “I am man, I am not an animal.” If you say, “I am man”, it is only half the truth. With a human form, you breed animal qualities. You should always recall, “I am not an animal.” The combination of the two will make you desist from indulging in animal nature. The unification of these two will make you realise your Divinity, which is the truth. Sacred thoughts are essential. They are the real rituals you should do.
