Life is Good

1. Today wherever we see in the world, people are crazy for money. What can money do for you? Can it wipe the tears of sorrow? No not at all; money is only for name's sake. It can not bring real happiness. We can attain happiness only through right conduct, sacrifice and love.

2. Man today is beset with so many worries. You cannot carry on your life if you are bogged down by worries. To be born is a worry, to be on the earth is a worry, world is a cause of worry; entire childhood is a worry and so is old age; life is a worry, failure is a worry, all actions and difficulties cause worry, even happiness too is a mysterious worry. Devotion to God alone will put an end to all your worries. Develop such devotion and love in God and all your worries will be gone.
3. Though Gunas (attributes) emanate from the Lord, He is unaffected; smoke rises from the fire but fire is unaffected; clouds form in the sky and move about in the sky, but the sky is unaffected by them. All are attached to the Lord like beads but He is free, unattached. The universe is based on Him but He has no need for the universe as base.

4. Never give scope to worry; lead a life full of happiness. Love for God is the panacea for all your worries. Inculcate good qualities so that you can attain progress in life and have a bright future. If you sow the seeds of truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence, then the entire world will be on the right path.

5. Devotion to God does not merly mean singing songs in His praise, it implies love for God. when you develop love, all your endeavours will become sacred. Saturate your life with truth and love; then the entire world will shine resplendently. Just as a lamp spreads light all around, the light of good conduct will make the world shine.
