Be Unshakably Serene

Be calm under all circumstances. Cultivate this virtue again and again through constant and
strenuous endeavour. Serenity is like a rock. Waves of irritation may dash on it, but cannot effect it.
Meditate on the ever tranquil Atman within, which is unchanging. You will attain calmness.
The Divine Light will descend on a calm mind only. An aspirant with a calm mind only can enter
into deep meditation and Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
Be sincere at heart. Care not for the perishable things. Care for the ever-lasting Reality only.
Give up idle talk, long talk, big talk, tall talk and loose talk. Become silent.
Introspect. Look within. Try to remove your defects. Collect all your scattered thoughts and
apply yourself in remembering God. Become very, very humble. Become an embodiment of good
nature. Do always good actions. Serve. Love. Give. Make others happy.
