Contemplating upon divine qualities, performing good deeds and chanting are all ways of destroying delusion through satsang.

Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.
Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
