Peace of mind is unknown to him as he is always planning and scheming to acquire wealth, power, name arid fame. He always separates himself from others. Th e se n s e of separateness and attachment are present in him to ti
Even in cases of ungentle dealings, he should always say, "That is good; that is good, good to all.” He should not engage in futile quarrels, nor create enmity with any person.

There should not exist in the heart the least idea of separateness. The moment the concepts of "I." "mine" and '"you" arise in one, the nail of sorrow is hammered in him. Get established in the idea of "Soham" or "I am He". Through identification with the Atman you will be able to land safely on the other shore, the shore of immorta

Serenity is like a rock. Waves of irritation may dash on it but cannot affect it. Meditate daily on the ever-tranquil Atman. The Divine Light will descend on a calm mind only.

The dream objects also do not exist in the daytime. Similarly, the objects of this world appear only in the midd
