There is a good and bad, and sometimes we catch a glimpse of the true Reality that is neither good nor bad. Good is what is helpful to spiritual life, bad is what is harmful to it. In us there are good elements and bad onces, Elimate the bad ones and take the good ones, and then go beyond both good and bad, We can least approach this ideal, and work our way towards perfection.
Do not get attached. Do not get upset. Try to see the reality behind the phenomenon. We should be kind but not blind. Have infinite sympathy. Pain and sorrow are a kind of education; bear them. Turn to God even through suffering. Also hunger for truth makes us turn to God.
We must be in tune with ourselves. if we are not in harmony, we prick others. Have harmony in mind and body. It is necessary to sublimate our feelings. If they are suppressed, they leak out again and again. Suppression or repression is not enough.
Friends have to some extent similar vibrations. Sympathize with angry people. Have sympathy from higher plane. There are times when you are allowed to disagree with or scold others maintaining an amount of self-control. Then it won’t lead to quarrels or misunderstandings .if we have inner harmony we induce harmony in others. If we are restless, we have both inner and outer troubles.
We must first of all come to have a spiritual attitude towards ourselves, and only then can we establish a proper relationship between us and the Divine also with other people.

Short Message About Sacrifice !
The trouble is that our mind is too outgoing, we are too selfish, too self- centred. So we should try to do some service to others, physical and mental. We should sacrifice something for others, in some form or other. Look at a mother’s sacrifice! No one should be allowed to lead a self-centred life without making any sacrifices for others whatever form they may take. Life is a sacrifice, and can only find its fulfillment in sacrifice. Out-and-out self-centred people have no place in spiritual life.

Exercise is necessary. Taka care of stomach and brain. Mental and physical disciples are importane.create the right mood.Given attention to your breathing. This in itself is a bit of concentration. When breath is controlled the mind will come back to itself.

How To Purify Our Mind
When we started to help others we can find the peace of mind. This is one of the way to share other pains and trying to resolve it as much as possible.
Every day lot of people losing their life because of famine and starvation. Just try to help them by means of providing food .you may have money to lead luxury life but those people not at all have single day food. Think of them and donate the money to Red Cross or social work clubs.
Some people are suffering by diseases; they may be counting their days. We don’t have power to save their life .If not possible to help others due to some reason, at latest we could pray for them to GOD.

Control The Desire For Higher Life
Desires do not have leave of sudden. We may practice great control. We may cut ourselves off from the objects of desire, but the desire remains in the subtle form, this desire will disappear only with the dawn of spiritual consciousness, and so we should try out best to awaken in us something of this spiritual consciousness
