Sadhana (spiritual efforts) must make you calm, unruffled, poised, and balanced. Make the mind as cool and comforting as moonlight, for the Moon is the Deity holding sway over the mind. Be calm in speech, and in your response to malice, cavilling and praise. You complain that others are disturbing your equanimity; but you do not know that though your tongue does not speak, your thoughts can unsettle the equanimity of those around you. Detachment, Faith and Love - these are the pillars on which peace rests. Of these, faith is crucial. For without it, all Sadhana is an empty rite. Detachment alone can make Sadhana effective, and love leads one quickly to God. Faith feeds the agony of separation from God, detachment canalises it along the path of God and Love lights the way. God will grant you what you need and deserve; there is no need to ask and no reason to grumble, be content. Nothing can happen against His will!
