We need to encourage the thoughts regarding 'what we want to be and what we want to do'. We should keep the mind engaged in these kind of thoughts, while performing all actions in the worldly affairs. With the grace of God, we need to interact with the souls that have come in our contact in this world, with the least possible friction. We need to develop the state of this understanding within us so that it is possible for us to keep the mind peaceful, happy, patient and equipoise. For that reason, we will succeed only if can maintain this kind of creative and lively awareness in our hearts. There will be all kind of incidents in this world. There will be incidents of conflict, since we need to live with people of different nature. We need to develop heartfelt awareness that these conflicts are for our test and measure; and it is a grace-opportunity to develop good qualities like mental peace, balanced mind and equanimity. We must frequently remind the mind of our purpose.
