God can be known only by experience and not by experiments. Saadhana is needed for this purpose. People who are engaged in exploring space do not make the slightest effort to explore the Divine within them. Of what use are experiments aimed at exploring space, while there is no genuine cultivation of human qualities, and the practice of such basic virtues as showing reverence for the mother, the father and the preceptor? Every educated person should engage himself or herself in selfless service to society, with humility and a pure heart; one should live up to the motto - "Help ever - hurt never."
