Chant the name of the Lord with full faith and pure heart. You forget your nature in the complex tangle of artificiality; you miss the sahaja (natural) when you are caught in the net of a-sahaja (artificial). The natural is prema (Love), shaanthi (Peace), sathya (Truth) and aanandha (Bliss). The artificial is hate, falsehood, war, grief and greed. You must discover the spring of your own truth; you cannot play truant for long; after many a birth, even if their number is a hundred, you have to reach the source from where you strayed...If you strengthen your moral qualities, and develop faith in God, calamity can never visit you.
