To face different situations in life with presence of mind and mental poise, first we have to train the mind.
True happiness is when the love within us finds its expression through external activities.
Creating fear and respect in order to teach obedience cannot be called disciplining. True constructive disciplining takes place when love is allowed to blossom.
Free from attachments to the past and worries about the future, a child expresses him/herself fully.
Meditation and studying the scriptures are like two sides of a coin. The engraving on the coin is Selfless Service and that is what gives it its real value.
Only by understanding what is everlasting and what is transitory can we progress in life without ever losing our mental balance or peace of mind.
If we continuously maintain Self-awareness, we will be able to experience peace and happiness.
