- Love
In the spirit "we" are all one, and that one-ness is love.
- Realise
May that God Who is Love - enlighten us, guide our footsteps, lighten our burdens, lead us to the goal.
- Give
Give without motivation - spontaneous, overwhelming, unquestioning generosity!
This alone has no motives at all.
Where you find some need - give.
Do charity in exactly the same manner in which you will drop your body, when you die.
- Meditate
Meditate regularly.
True, real meditation is a rare experience, but even an imperfect attempt will fill you with inexpressible peace and joy.
You must be established in great virtues - like non-violence, truthfulness, and purity, before you can taste the bliss of deep meditation.
- Meditate
We may use a mantra to focus attention.
I tell that all I want to do myself is to repeat the mantra.
I give the mind the instruction, "Hold on to this."
After twenty or thirty seconds, the attention is gone - no one knows how.
So one tries to limit it to a particular focal point.
That is concentration.
