HOW TO GET PEACE
The greatest disease is the absence of peace. When the mind is peaceful, your body will be healthy. So everyone who craves for good health must pay attention to their emotions, feelings, and motives that animates them. Just as you wash clothes, you must wash your mind free from dirt every day. To cleanse your mind you should mix in good company and avoid dirt elements like falsehood, injustice, indiscipline, cruelty, hate, etc. Truth, righteousness, peace, love – these form the clean elements. If you inhale the pure air of clean elements, your mind will be free from evil bacilli and you will be mentally sturdy and physically strong. As Vivekananda said, you should have nerves of steel and muscles of iron. You must brim in hope and joy as your unshakable resolution, not display despair and dejection..
If someone speaks ill of us, we shouldn’t react to them. They only have to suffer for their words who speak ill of others. You just be calm and never take their words to your heart. If you get angry with anyone, it spoils your mental health. Though the situation is so hard to handle, you should control your mind and remember me, then surely you can get peace. Don’t crave for luxuries. Be contented with what you have. I will surely give you everything more than you deserve. Have patience. Sometimes you may not get what you pray for, because that is not good for you. I will do good only for my devotees..Surrender your heart to me. I will take you to the end.
– Baba
