If a person has sufficient time to practice, he will be serene within, and then his serene attitude and atmosphere will further influence the people he sees, the neighbors and people around him. Upon seeing him, they will be affected by his presence and become peaceful. They will think, "Oh! This is right! We ought to be peaceful and loving!" As the influence spreads, many will be affected. Therefore, our spiritual practice is truly beneficial. This is simply logical, nothing esoteric or beyond comprehension.

If every unit of the family takes care of its inner peace, if it gets in contact with God and gets this everlasting, unconditional love, then the world will have peace. There's no need to talk. That's an ideal picture, an ideal vision for our planet, and for every other planet in this universe. That's what God's will is. That's what God wants us to understand. It doesn't matter what, doesn't matter how long it takes us to understand, God will allow us the time, the instruments, the information and the way.

Our physical body is affected by the spiritual body and our mind. If our spiritual body and mind are satisfied with taking spiritual food, our physical body will also change to become prettier. If our mind feels heavy, unhappy our physical body will also look tired and frustrated. Then, we are restless and distressed.

The more we meditate, the fewer questions we have. Even some questions are not important anymore. After we meditate we know that nothing is as important as we thought, and we just feel happy and blissful. When we're happy and blissful, nothing matters, really; and we don't think with the mind so much.

We are stepping into the Golden Age, so we have to change. We have to leave behind all these old, useless conceptions of how a saint should be; or we should leave behind the dark thinking, the negative expectations of the world and ourselves. Do something! We should start with ourselves; we should clean our house. If there's anything we don't like about ourselves, we should change it! Replace it with more positive, more virtuous qualities.

With this inner meditation and contact, we will soon discover that everything is arranged, everything is okay under the sun. God takes care of every minor detail of every being's life. That's why we're happy. That's why we're satisfied. That's why all the sorrows and miseries in this world cannot affect us because we know the Truth, the one and only Truth, the solid Truth - that God takes care of everything.

In walking, sleeping, talking, sitting, and lying down, always try to remain concentrated on the wisdom center. In that way you'll speedily progress and you will feel that progress. The more you progress, the more encouraged you will feel and then the more you will practice. It's a pity that we already have the method and we don't use it.
