To face different situations in life with presence of mind and mental poise, first we have to train the mind.
If we are able to give happiness to a soul-even for a minute-our life becomes blessed.
What we need is peace of mind. We can gain that only through the control of our mind.
Once we develop the attitude that "I am love, the embodiment of love," then we need not wander in search of peace for peace will come in search of us.
It is when you go out into the world and work in various situations that you can see how your mind reacts to different circumstances.
When our mental outlook improves, the state of the environment will also improve.
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.
