Install God in the altar of your heart and meditate on Him constantly.
In spite of sorrow, difficulties and calamities that you may
encounter, hold on to him firmly. They trouble your body, not
you - for, you are separate from your body. We cultivate
qualities like anger, jealousy, envy, pride due to our contact with
the outside world. Only when we get rid of these qualities, we
enjoy peace. Therefore we have to start our spiritual journey
with truth and righteousness. When truth and righteousness go
together, peace will reign. Peace brings love. Where there
is peace, there hatred cannot be. When we develop hatred against
someone, it means the spring of love has dried up in our heart.
When there is love in our heart, we do not get angry, even if someone
accuses us. Hence always follow the motto, "Love All, Serve All."
