When your thoughts do not wander to this or that object and when you feel self satisfied, you are in a state of joy which is unique. If you are happy within, everything appears good and pleasing to you. Purify your thought, all troubles will be cured.
As the beauty of a tree increases immensely in the spring season, so also your strength, your intellect and the lustre will increase in proportion to your potitive thoughts of indifference to the world. When thoughts of purity emanate around you, eternal law begins to support you.
True knowledge is spiritual consciousness. It is awareness of one's real nature. Right thought results in right action and right life. The body is not everything. There is something which is vitally important, which dwells in the body. It is the spirit of man (Human being). The body passes away, the spirit lives. Nothing ever is to accompany the atma, except his Karmas. Hence as long as man lives, he should live amicably, with love and goodwill towards all. Take shelter in great and noble thoughts and obtain perfections.
Guru's grace is always with the disciple unreserved and unconditioned. It depends however on the self disciplined purity of the Guru within is the best asset of the disciple.
