________________ "Remember the fact that you have to accomplish à glorious but stupendous task which will enable you to ultimately become God. One, who has subdued his senses, whose mind is not contaminated with wicked dispositions, who is used to lead virtuous life, and who is always ready to help the afflicted, is the ideal householder, for whom the gates of salvation will be open, no sooner he becomes a perfect-saint adorned with the trident of self-knowledge, self-conduct coupled with rightfaith." "Don't be too selfish, and short-sighted, to think of your own comforts and happiness. It be. comes a noble soul to try his level best to help others to live happily and peacefully. This will give you wonderful peace of mind and inner joy." Noble Saggestion "Let this dictum of nature be enshrined in your mind that all objects are perishable and intransient. The worldly prosperity and glory are superficial and shortlived. You will have to definitely die, someday. At present you cannot run away from death. Your material gains will not follow you. Look at the world and you will understand the point. You will depart all alone. Pious and peaceful death opens the portals of heaven and happiness. Equanimous departure is attained by those whose entire life is noble, benevolent, compassionate and virtuous. Get yourself ready to face death with no attachment for worldly objects. Real glory fies in death with equanimity and unperturbed peace.”
