Whenever you feel upset, hatred, anger, or any negative emotion, give it to the Divine, and be happy.
===========================
This world is full of names and forms. Fruits, flowers all have a name and form. Our ancestors realized this, and said that there were 1008 names and forms, all belonging to the One who had no name.
===========================
Meditation and the ability to seek solitude for our healing, well being, and self awareness cannot be something we are afforded when we can go to the mountains, or create a special room with lots of crystals and incense. It has to become a practical application of daily life that fits seamlessly into our busy schedules and pursuits.
Peace is not something we find or create, it is a way of being. It comes to us when we stand with integrity in truth. It comes when we are who we are meant to be. It is a reminder that we are connected to the source of all knowledge and power.
===========================
"The Wise Man believes profoundly in silence - the sign of a perfect equilibrium. Silence is the absolute poise or balance of body, mind and spirit. The man who preserves his self-hood ever calm and unshaken by the storms of existence - not a leaf, as it were, astir on the tree, not a ripple upon the surface of the shinning pool - his, in the mind of the unfettered sage, is the ideal attitude and conduct of life. Silence is the cornerstone of character."
===========================
To listen to discourses on God or Truth is certainly beneficial, provided one does not allow oneself to be moved by a spirit of fault-finding or disparagement, should there be differences of outlook to one's own. To find fault with others creates obstacles for everyone all around: for him who criticises, for him who is blamed, as well as for those who listen to the criticism. Whereas, what is said in a spirit of appreciation is fruitful to everybody.
