Direct the mind resolutely towards God, restraining the senses in their various seats, and looking on the state of the body as a matter of indifference. Realise your oneness with God, remaining continually intent on identifying with its nature…for what use is there in other, empty things?
When we see everything in life as a game, we will be equally joyous when falling as we are when rising. If we can fully understand this – if we can see life as swinging on a swing – we will never fall apart when failure comes our way.
To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
When there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.
