Devotion is not a mental weakness. Neither is it only the first step, but something like the substratum for attaining the goal.
Through spiritual thoughts, we cultivate inner strength and a strong mind. God represents all good qualities, such as self-sacrifice, love and compassion.
Love is the very foundation, beauty and fulfillment of life. If we dive deep enough into ourselves, we will find that the one thread of universal love ties all beings together. As this awareness dawns within us, peace alone will reign.
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.
Ask yourself, "Why can't I just smile and be happy?" As long as we carry the burden of the past, we cannot genuinely smile.
We should acquire control of the mind and possess the power to stop it, like the brakes of a new car reduce the speed and stop the vehicle whenever necessary.
