Unto Bliss

Purge your mind of all thoughts of worldly objects. Banish from your mind all thoughts save those relating to God. In case you find unable to do so, you should entertain only noble ideas. Cultivate and develop the virtues of cheerfulness, joviality, wisdom, serenity, harmony, benevolence, compassion,harmlessness,service, charity, friendliness, continence, self-control, etc. You will then be able to create an atmosphere suited to your temperament. You will get a society of your liking and your activities also will conform to your mental disposition. If you enshrine love rather than hatred in your heart, it will be reflected in your eyes, in your countenance and in your speech. People will be drawn towards you; they will get a glimpse of love as soon as they look at you or listen to your words, as they are brought face to face with you. Nay, they will reciprocate your love. If your heart is full of love, your actions, too, will be saturated with it. The result will be that the whole world will extend its love to you. The same is true of all other virtues.
