Meditation instills the art of recharging our soul's depleted 'battery' by connecting our mind and intellect to GOD - the Main Power Station, Reservoir and Source of everything pure and positive. This direct and accurate Supreme Link with the Almighty Himself is meditation.
"It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations." -Khalil Gibran
“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”
― Paulo Coelho
Love the Process Without Depending on the Outcome.
“Set thy heart upon thy work, but never on its reward.”
It may seem contradictory, but we never engage in action for the sake of reward. This is because seeking a reward binds us to the world and creates karma.
-The Gita
The only reason you get along well with a relative is that you are friends more than relatives. Mutual respect and love is the reason for your bonding. The same is true even for siblings. And even for parents and children.
Do not be joyous if you are surrounded by people who seem to love you and are in your awe. It will change. Even the behavior of your own children will change if there is a decline in your success or wealth or position or power. Strangers would not hurt you; your own people would.
