How To Live At Peace


In this World.
.

"WHILE LOCATED IN THE MAYIC WORLD MAN MUST LIVE PEACEFULLY WITH
THE OBJECT OF CULTIVATING THE SPIRIT.
.
IN HIS SOCIETY HE MUST LEAD A PURE LIFE, AVOID SINS AND DO AS MUCH GOOD
AS HE CAN TO HIS BROTHER MAN.
.
HE MUST BE HIMSELF HUMBLE BEARING DIFFICULTIES OF LIFE WITH HEROISM,
MUST NOT BRAG OF ANY GOODNESS OR GRANDEUR HE HAS AND MUST TREAT
EVERYONE WITH THE RESPECT DUE TO HIM.
.
MARRIAGE WITH A VIEW TO PEACEFUL AND VIRTUOUS LIFE AND WITH A VIEW
TO PROCREATE SERVANTS OF THE LORD IS A GOOD INSTITUTION FOR A
VAISNAVA.
.
SPIRITUAL CULTIVATION IS THE MAIN OBJECT OF LIFE. DO EVERYTHING THAT
HELPS IT AND ABSTAIN FROM DOING ANYTHING WHICH THWARTS THE
CULTIVATION OF THE SPIRIT.
.
HAVE A STRONG FAITH THAT KRISHNA ALONE PROTECTS YOU AND NONE ELSE.
ADMIT HIM AS YOUR ONLY GUARDIAN.
.
DO EVERYTHING WHICH YOU KNOW KRISHNA WISHES YOU TO DO AND NEVER
THINK THAT YOU DO A THING INDEPENDENT OF THE HOLY WISH OF KRISHNA.
.
DO ALL THAT YOU DO WITH HUMILITY.
.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE A SOJOURNER IS THIS WORLD AND YOU
MUST BE PREPARED FOR YOUR OWN HOME.
.
DO YOUR DUTIES AND CULTIVATE BHAKTI AS A MEANS TO OBTAIN THE GREAT
END OF LIFE, KRISHNA-PRITI.
.
EMPLOY YOUR BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT IN THE SERVICE OF THE DEITY.
.
IN ALL YOUR ACTIONS, WORSHIP THE GREAT LORD. DO THESE WITH YOUR
HEART, MIND AND STRENGTH IN THE COMPANY OF SPIRITUAL PEOPLE ALONE,
AND YOU WILL SEE KRISHNA IN NO TIME."

SRILA BHAKTIVINODA THAKUR 1896
