1.You must have contentment, be it gain or loss. This is essential. For the contented mind, life becomes a celebration, whereas a mind worried by desires will be ever restless. In such a state of mind, concentration is impossible. Desires are like a fire in your body, which can burn you up from within and contentment is the effective drug to destroy it. Just as a bath in the cool waters of a stream refreshes an exhausted traveller, perspiring in the burning heat of the day, one suffering from the scorching fires of desire, will be refreshed by the pellucid waters of contentment. Contentment will grant you joy and expand your happiness.
2.Secular learning cannot bestow on us abiding and absolute peace. Self-knowledge alone can help us cross the sea of sorrow; you should all strive to attain this awareness. It is not easy to gain this Self-knowledge, but at the same time one must not give up in a mood of frustration and despair. Self-knowledge can certainly be acquired through purity of mind. Purity of mind can be attained through pious and sacred deeds, charity, compassion and devotion. Selfless actions, consecrated to God, purifies the heart. The Sun of Wisdom dawns in such a heart and this awakening exalts one to the status of God.
