How To Live At Peace
In this World.
.
"WHILE LOCATED IN THE MAYIC
WORLD MAN MUST LIVE PEACEFULLY WITH THE OBJECT OF CULTIVATING THE SPIRIT.
.
IN HIS SOCIETY HE MUST
LEAD A PURE LIFE, AVOID SINS AND DO AS MUCH GOOD AS HE CAN TO HIS BROTHER
MAN.
.
HE MUST BE HIMSELF HUMBLE
BEARING DIFFICULTIES OF LIFE WITH HEROISM, MUST NOT BRAG OF ANY GOODNESS
OR GRANDEUR HE HAS AND MUST TREAT EVERYONE WITH THE RESPECT DUE TO HIM.
.
MARRIAGE WITH A VIEW TO
PEACEFUL AND VIRTUOUS LIFE AND WITH A VIEW TO PROCREATE SERVANTS OF THE
LORD IS A GOOD INSTITUTION FOR A VAISNAVA.
.
SPIRITUAL CULTIVATION
IS THE MAIN OBJECT OF LIFE. DO EVERYTHING THAT HELPS IT AND ABSTAIN FROM
DOING ANYTHING WHICH THWARTS THE CULTIVATION OF THE SPIRIT.
.
HAVE A STRONG FAITH THAT
KRISHNA ALONE PROTECTS YOU AND NONE ELSE. ADMIT HIM AS YOUR ONLY GUARDIAN.
.
DO EVERYTHING WHICH YOU
KNOW KRISHNA WISHES YOU TO DO AND NEVER THINK THAT YOU DO A THING INDEPENDENT
OF THE HOLY WISH OF KRISHNA.
.
DO ALL THAT YOU DO WITH
HUMILITY.
.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOU
ARE A SOJOURNER IS THIS WORLD AND YOU MUST BE PREPARED FOR YOUR OWN HOME.
.
DO YOUR DUTIES AND CULTIVATE
BHAKTI AS A MEANS TO OBTAIN THE GREAT END OF LIFE, KRISHNA-PRITI.
.
EMPLOY YOUR BODY, MIND
AND SPIRIT IN THE SERVICE OF THE DEITY.
.
IN ALL YOUR ACTIONS, WORSHIP
THE GREAT LORD. DO THESE WITH YOUR HEART, MIND AND STRENGTH IN THE COMPANY
OF SPIRITUAL PEOPLE ALONE, AND YOU WILL SEE KRISHNA IN NO TIME."
