““Hear good things; do good things; share good things. That gives joy and contentment. Speak softly, kindly; that is dharma (righteousness). Give generously, wisely; wipe the tear, and assuage the sigh and the groan; that is dharma. Do not simply throw money at the needy; give with respect and reverence, give with grace. Give also with humility. Try to live with others harmoniously. Be helpful to others; then your conscience itself will appreciate you and keep you happy and content, though others may not thank you. A devotee should always be happy, contented, and peaceful. He should not give scope for any pain or sorrow in his heart. Happiness is true holiness. True bliss lies in cultivating the principle of love and leading a life of contentment. We should always be contented. When there is no contentment, worries raise their head. All troubles are created by worrying. There is, in this world, no austerity higher than fortitude, no happiness greater than contentment, no meritorious act holier than mercy, no weapon more effective than patience.”
