If we look
around the world today, every individual desire one thing: that there be
peace throughout the globe and that everyone lives in peace. Nobody
should face troubles in their lives, and no one should trouble others.
If we look at our homes, families, and friends and contemplate deeply,
we will realize that we carry our peace within us. If we are at peace
within ourselves, wherever we go, whomever we meet, we will be able to
offer that peace to everyone. Otherwise, if we are restless and our
minds are chaotic, even amidst the beauty of nature we won't find peace.
If peace resides in our hearts, even amidst chaos, we will live in
peace.
Dedication means
having a heart full of love and being devoted with that love. It's about
losing oneself and being solely for the Supreme Being, bringing a sense
of dedication in the mind. If there is such dedication, then it is truly
auspicious. Often, it happens that when we dedicate ourselves, we see
that from a young age, we achieve educational degrees or attain some
titles. In the process of attaining these degrees or titles, it might
take many years. However, when it comes to the concept of dedication,
and the idea of losing ego, it doesn't take as many years. This
dedication happens in a moment, as soon as the mind understands that "I
am not this body, and the true nature of this soul is the Supreme
Being." The body has to complete its journey in a few years, and then it
will perish.
