- If one keeps faith in God, everything works out for him. We must be firm that ‘this is God’, that only God gives us happiness, and even in times of joy or pain, God only does what’s best. If we keep such beliefs then we’ll be happy.
- Those who do not worship God and who do not come to the temple may appear to be happy, but that happiness is only on the outside. What does Gunãtitãnand Swãmi tell us? ‘Poisoned sweets taste nice in the beginning but afterwards they’ll kill you.’ Similarly, worldly pleasures such as eating at restaurants, drinking in bars, going to parties or to the cinema all seem like fun. A rich man may drive an expensive car but if he doesn’t believe in God, then in his heart he will be burning. He’ll always feel miserable.
- We travel all over the world. We’ve met millionaires, billionaires and even they have problems! With their children, with their wives, in fact they have many types of problems. Only those who have met God and His Saint are truly happy. Narsinh Mehta had nothing, but he had met God and so he was happy. Buying a nice house or being promoted to a high position is not happiness.
- Even if we may get only a small amount of money, earn it by honourable means. Live according to dharma. Money obtained by cheating and adharma will never make you happy.
