When hardships overwhelm you, know that it is the consequence of your
own past deeds. Do not blame the Lord and develop a grouse
against Him. Do not pay heed to this trouble or take it as such. Engage yourself in the service of others and in deeds of merit. Continue relying on the Name of the Lord as support. That is the
sign of the wise. To strengthen this attitude, peace is a great
source of help. Basking in the happiness born of good deeds you
do, you should not be tempted to commit deeds of evil. You
should strive to perform even more meritorious deeds. Then you
can make your lives holier and purer and reach the Divine Presence.
Such striving is the sign of the highest character.

Prasanthi Vahini.
