Love bestirs the heart of the separated lover for God, and God responds by enlightening him. He then realizes that the soul and God are one.

Whoever seeks, finds that God is known through His Name. When that form of God (Name) is in the heart, no other hunger remains.

Meditation on God rewards you with bliss and a tranquil mind. See yourself in all beings, and in all beings see only God.
?
?
See God in all beings. As one essence He is present in all forms.
?

Always avoid quarrel as it produces evil consequences. It creates suffering, consumes you with worries, and destroys your home.
?
?
Speak sweetly with everyone and happiness will spring up all around. It is the charm that wins the hearts of others. Give up harsh words.
?
?
The welfare of others is your greatest duty, the highest of all virtues. Have mercy for all beings, even as taught in the vedas and puranas.
?
?
Know him to be patient and wise who understands, and is not disturbed by people's ways. Their evil ways do not affect him.
?

Always be strong and steadfast in your dharma. If you sincerely follow your dharma, your life will be easily and pleasantly rewarding.
?
?
Always take part in satsangs and remove all worldly obstacles. You may not have this opportunity again, as human birth is difficult to obtain.
