The best way to cleanse the heart and prepare for the stilling of the mind is to lead a normal, worldly life. Living in the midst of your day-to-day duties, responsibilities, likes, dislikes, etc., will help you. All these become the very means for the purification of your heart.
Meher BabaTrue love is no game of the faint-hearted and the weak; it is born of strength and understanding.
