You are seeking joy and peace in far-off places. But the spring of joy is in your heart. The haven of peace is in yourself.

Never believe that body is permanent. Body is like a water bubble. Mind is like a mad monkey.

Assess the work of whatever others do to you or say about you, and cultivate fortitude and the understanding to appreciate their behaviour and pardon their faults. This capacity is as invaluable as truth, righteousness, wisdom, non-violence, renunciation, delight and compassion. It is all that one need possess for spiritual advancement.

Charity does not mean that the land should be full of beggars. We can provide some support and means for the beggars, but provide food, clothing and other conveniences in such a way that you are not encouraging laziness and begging.

Let the wave of memory, the storm of desire, the fire of emotion pass through without affecting your equanimity.

After you develop your Self-confidence and love for God then you can share your experiences with others. But it is a good rule to talk very little, even about God.

If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nations. When there is order in the nations, there will peace in the world.
