Mind and Attachment

One who gives up living in houses, wearing fine clothes, and eating good food, and goes into the desert, may be a most attached person. This man's only possession, his own body, may become everything to him, and as he lives he will be simply struggling for the sake of his body. Non-attachment does not mean anything that we may do in relation to our external body. It is all in the mind.

Plans

Think about what you want out of your life. Don't be lazy, don't postpone your plans for later on. Set the plan and make it come true. Think about your daily, weekly, monthly, yearly plans and work on their realization. That way you will be living a satisfactory life.
There can come unexpected changes that will affect your plans, but unless you have your mission, you live your life of somebody else's mission.

God's Love

Never during his life did Ramakrishna refuse a single prayer of mine. Millions of offenses has he forgiven me. Such great love even my parents never had for me. There is no poetry, no exaggeration in all this. It is the bare truth and every disciple of his knows it.

Good

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.

Change

Change is the basic condition of all existence. Without change there is no birth, no death, no good times, no bad times. Change is essential for the constant evolution of the world. Hence, why are we that much afraid of changes?

Fears

All the fears are creations of our mind. Train your mind in order to get rid of your fears. Do things you fear to get rid of anxiety and pressure. It will make you grow and you will begin to enjoy even activities you don’t like that much. Because there is not like or dislike. All we do has its purpose. All what happens has its purpose.

Achieve Peace

A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires - that enter like rivers to the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still - can alone achieve peace, and not a man who strives to satisfy these desires.
