Speaking to myself, I don’t know how to tell jokes, but when I see someone crying I won’t leave that person until I see him or her smile. I don’t need to do anything but give peace and love to that person.

Internally, I think it’s just a tiny thing that they are holding on to, causing them to go around with such a gloomy face.  But they are making others worried or afraid, thinking what’s going on in this persons mind.

People feel sorrow when they are holding on to situations. They forget that these situations are external to them. All it takes is let go. Once they achieve they become happy and peaceful again and can begin to smile. How often have we looked back on some previous trouble, and wondered what all the fuss was about.

The art of leaving from inside to out is such that it only enables us to let go of that which is outside of us, but builds such strength as to avoid being trapped  by it in the first place.

When you too let go of things that are outside of you, and become free, you will begin to feel a state of stability filled with such happiness that no matter what happens, you cannot lose it. Happiness has the power of peace and love, you feel yourself to be very strong, not someone who easily becomes upset and tearful, like a baby.

You need to attend the quality of thought that you allow to come to mind. This is only sensible. It is, after all, your mind. Thoughts should be pure, elevated and determined. Then just see the results. Without rituals, postures, chanting, etc, you will experience peace of mind.

Ask your heart do I have pure positive feelings for everyone, including myself? As I am planning attention to this, making it my priority as I move through life? Such feelings create energy that automatically flows outwards, protecting you against negative influence.

If you do pay attention you won’t make mistakes. You won’t feel sorrow and you won’t give others the opportunity to have thoughts about your state of sorrow. Otherwise everyone else’s attention will be drawn towards you, that this poor person is in difficulty, and you will feel low. This is no good for you nor does it help others.   

In my life I have made a commitment: I will not feel sorrow now I will worry about anyone or anything. Nor I will allow anyone one to have such feelings for me. I will not be afraid of any one nor will I make anyone afraid. I have to give co-operation with love, and help when help is required.

Even if someone else isn’t giving me love I don’t have to spend anything in giving love to them.  Others may not give me respect, but why should I let go my virtue of giving respect? It is not good for me even to have the thought of not giving respect to someone who doesn’t respect me, or who is an obstacle for me.

I am on a spiritual journey and situations will definitely come. My duty is to continue driving in my own lane, and not to obstruct others.

While travelling by plane clouds come but at that point pilot cannot ask why – he just knows he has to cross them. An announcement is made to fasten the seatbelt because of turbulence, but you don’t have to create turbulence in yourself thinking the plane might crash. That is not sensible. With faith in the aircraft and pilot you stay peaceful and cooperative. Then the cabin crew stays happy with you, and you don’t create an atmosphere of fear that might spread among the passengers.

With peace with faith, create such a loving atmosphere that whatever comes, it will easily go away. This is the wisdom written by ancient story teller when they wrote “And it came to pass…”

What gives this kind of stability? You must have seen a tower - to reach so high, it has a deep foundation. You need to become introverted, to go deep inside, to make yourself so strong that even if the whole word fluctuates, you remain stable.

This power comes from within, from your inner being. When your motives are pure and positive, and based on love and truth, there will be this power of peace.

Truth means much more then information which we may think, speak, read or write about. It means the power to remain silent and peaceful. Not even to think. Not to listen to great deal, but to keep the essence of your being, your human qualities, in your intellect and awareness. To merge everything else that happens, inside or outside, as an ocean absorbs river so that there is calm.

A state of truth is one in which whatever power you need for yourself and for others to remain peaceful, that power is readily available at all time. I may be speaking, but even then I must remain peaceful inside. My breaths thoughts and time should be filled with peace and stability so that whoever comes in front of me finds me useful, and peace spreads everywhere. Then I am also useful to my own self.

It is not necessary to remember and speak about sorrowful things of the word that have happened in the past.

Equally, to spread news of whatever is happening in the word now in such a way to cause fear and tension is unhelpful. If I become afraid, I won’t be able to do anything useful.
