The evening assembly was held in the Town Hall. Swamishri said in his blessings: "A human birth is invaluable. With it, we should strive to imbibe virtues such as truth, mercy, celibacy and to identify with the Gunatit Sadhu for ultimate redemption. Man is unable to create such a human body even though science has advanced to great heights.

"Misery is removed and peace results by associating with the Gunatit Sadhu who is above maya, who has attributes of truth, mercy. Although it is incumbent upon us to serve society, discord is only eradicated by Satsang, scriptural reading and prayer."
