Sense-control leads to peace and happiness. There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment. Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle! A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately when another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves. Life is a pilgrimage. The wise man does not rest by the roadside inns. He marches direct to the illimitable domain of eternal bliss, his ultimate destination. There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient. |
