Happiness in life does not depend only on the body, but also on external comfort or external objects. True happiness depends on the mind. If we gain total control over the mind, we will gain control over everything else. The science that teaches us how to control the mind is true science and that is spiritual knowledge. Only if we first gain this knowledge can we properly use all other knowledge.

In the past, there used to be families with 30, 40 or even 50 members. They lived together with unity and mutual affection. The atmosphere in such families was one of the love and peace because they understood spirituality. They know what life was for. Their lives were founded on spiritual principles. Sadly, these principles are now considered mere grandmother's tales. Today if there are three members in a family, they are like three islands in an ocean. Each one has his or her own ways and they do not get along with each other.

If people are well versed in spiritual principles we can avoid such situations at least within families. Spirituality is what brings hearts closer together. One who has learnt how to swim in the ocean reveals the waves. Every wave will be a joyful experience for him. However one who does not know how to swim will be in the mercy of the waves. Likewise one who understands the principles of spirituality will be able to face every of struggle in life with a smile. Those who do not understand spirituality will be derailed by the smallest issue. Suppose a firecracker explodes. If we did not know that it was going to explode, we would not be shocked. We will not falter under any circumstances.

Some mistakenly consider spirituality to mean blind faith. The truth is spirituality dispels the darkness of ignorance. Acquiring property and wealth or earning name and fame is akin to a bald man collecting combs. One must act, knowing the correct way of doing so, i.e. without attachment.

We are all different forms of the one self like the same toffee covered in different wrappers. The toffee covered in green looks at the toffee covered in red and says “we are different” . But if we remove the wrapper we will see that all are same. We are unable to experience the supreme. So you cannot enjoy peace without  an innocent heart.  God abides only in an innocent heart.
