We have a treasure within us which we will never lose, and which no one can steal. But we will not get it by searching outside. We have to look inside.
Where there is concentration, there is harmony. Happiness is derived from concentration of the mind. Whatever we focus on we will become that.
You need not be wealthy or in a high position in order to console the suffering. A loving word, a compassionate glance, a helping hand - that's enough to help someone.
How to attain concentration? There are no short cuts. Constant practice is needed. In the beginning, it is a great thing if by chance we get even one or two minutes of concentration in an hour. We should make continuous and sincere effort without stopping until we gain one pointed concentration.
We are not isolated islands, we are connected links in a chain. Each kind word, each smiling face, each good action, benefits our neighbor, our nation, and our world.
Even if we have everything, if there is no mental peace, we cannot lead a happy life.
