We should forgive and forget the faults of others. Anger is the enemy of every spiritual aspirant. Anger causes loss of power through every pore of our body. In circumstances when the mind is tempted to get angry, we should control ourselves and resolve firmly, 'No.' We can go to a secluded spot and chant our mantra. The mind will become quiet by itself.

We should fill the syllabuses of schools with lessons about love and compassion.

Make use of radio, TV and films discriminatively; only for programs that will enhance our knowledge and culture. Television is tele-visham (tele-poison, in Malayalam). If we are not careful, it can corrupt our culture, damage our eyes and drain away our time.

We should serve others without any expectations whatsoever. When others throw thorns at us, we should be able to throw flowers back at them.

Only when human beings are able to perceive and acknowledge the Self in each other can there be real peace.

Peace is not a product of an intellectual exercise. It is an inner blossoming that occurs with meditation.

Children, do not listen to those who malign masters and sages. Never listen to or indulge in derogatory talk about anyone. When we harbor negative thoughts about others, our minds become impure.
