True devotion lies in accepting both pleasure and pain with equal-mindedness.

Nourishing scriptures will promote the nourishment of the welfare of the world. To nourish the scriptures, one must speak the truth (Satyam vada); to nourish the world, speak pleasantly (priyam vada). If these two maxims are kept in view and practised, no greater discipline is needed. It is only in an atmosphere of peace that such sacred maxims can be put into action. To earn that calmness, steady effort and harmony are essential, in the same manner as for nourishing the scriptures and the world. When peace is acquired, then all is equanimity (sama-rasa). Equanimity is the very nature of peace. Everyone should be endowed with that peace and equanimity, and should establish an age of faith, devoid of non-scriptural behaviour, attitude, conduct, habits, and character. Devotion is the very fountainhead of this peace, so if everyone plants it in their heart and nourishes it with care and constant attention, a harvest of goodness and harmony can be reaped.
