One's misery is caused by one's own bad thoughts. By entertaining truthful thoughts, one is drawn to God. The one who remains beyond these thought processes will always remain in peace. Never forget this.

Therefore, the moment a thought originates in the mind, we should discriminate and find out whether it is good or bad. One is drawn to God by entertaining truthful thoughts, good thoughts. Thoughts of rendering service to others, of seeking the welfare of society - it is through such good and truthful thoughts that man becomes good.

This quality of godliness and devotion is present in all.
