CHANT THE NAME OF GOD!

1. To reach the presence of the source of bliss, that is God, you must tread the footsteps of great saints and seekers, like Jayadeva, Mira, Gauranga, Ramakrishna and others. Practice their teachings and follow their example. The path of dedicated activity of surrender to the Highest of incomparable love towards the Embodiment of Love - that is the sweetest path, giving joy at every step.
2. If there is no unity and harmony between the wife and the husband, there is no use of undertaking spritual practices like meditation and chanting. When the wife follows her husband and the husband follows his wife, there is great happiness in the family. Strive to achieve such unity and harmony in your family; then your entire life will become happy and peaceful without any worries whatsoever.
3. First and foremost, the youth should come forward to help each other. The end of education is character. If your character is good, then you can achieve anything in life. You may have won gold medals, acquired high degrees and achieved name and fame; but if you lack character these degrees are merely piece of paper.

BE GOOD!

1. Talk liitle, talk sweetly, talk only when there is a pressing need; talk only to those to whom you must, do not shout or raise your voice in anger or excitement. Such control will improve your health and mental peace. It will lead to better public relations and less involvement in contacts and conflicts with others. You may be laughed at as a killjoy but there are compensations enough for you. It will conserve your time and energy; you can put your inner energy to better use.

2. That which changes is worldly truth and that which remains changeless is spiritual truth. The changeless truth is the foundation; on the foundation of Truth stands the mansion of Duty. The mansion can be given any colour, any name; it can be decorated in any way; but the foundation cannot be changed.

3. Love is far more powerful than we recognise it to be and all humanitarian projects are demonstrations of the power of love. Conflicts will not solve problems; it may shelve a problem, it may sweep it unde the rug, it may supposedly keep it under the rug, it may keep it under control but the problem will erupt again and when it does erupt, it will be much more violent.
