Attaining peace does not mean inactivity, the mere inert life of
eating and squatting. You should not spend your time in eating
and sleeping, comforting yourself that the Lord will come to your
help, when the need arises. You must arise and work. God
helps those who help themselves. Do the work that has fallen
your lot, sincerely and efficiently. Give up everything that is
outside the service of the Lord. Follow the footsteps of great
devotees. You can win through the Grace of the Lord the joy of
peace, and the fullness and bliss of Immortality.
