Develop sacred feelings, serve your parents, respect elders, and adopt God as your friend. With God as your friend, you are sure to find fulfillment in life. Cheerfully accept all tests He may subject you to, remembering that they all are meant for your own good. No matter how difficult or painful the test, always repeat to yourself: “This is good for me, this is good for me.” You must have full faith that everything that God does is only for your good and welfare. You have a disease and you undergo surgery. The doctor cuts you with a sharp knife; he does so not out of hatred for you but because he wants to cure you. In the same way, understand that God too is curing you out of love for you; there is thus no room for grumbling or complaints.
