Thoughts which made me think of spirituality and life.

1. Spirituality is the key: Those who are devoid of spiritual thinking and merely carry out social service, become mesmerised by their own success or virtues. They start believing themselves to be servants of humanity. In such a situation they expect that people should praise them and obey them. Their false sense of pride makes them enemies of many persons. Therefore, instead of becoming real servants of people they become their destroyers. Man cannot develop humility nor can he develop the capacity for self-improvement without the basis of spiritual thinking. He goes on committing one mistake after another and thus makes his own life miserable.
2. Man is here to love: All of your problems can be solved with the help of the Indian culture and way of thinking. The government can protect your rights, but it can not develop the thought process wherefrom your happiness or misery arises. This can only be achieved by spiritual upliftment. Only Indian culture has the real strength to turn man into a human being. This culture teaches us that man is born to love man, and certainly not for quarreling and fighting. If each and every programme of Gayatri Parivar is carried out properly, the Sun of Indian culture will see a new dawn.
3. Arrogance is ruinous: If you wish to achieve peace of mind, develop inherent capacity as well as strength. Take the help of your conscience. One may deceive the entire world, but who can deceive one's own conscience? If you consult your conscience for every work, you will be able to maintain your moral discretion. If you are able to act according to the moral direction of your conscience, you will be able to succeed, even though the whole world may be against you. The spiritual downfall of a person starts at the very moment when he starts thinking about himself as the most virtuous and incomparable.
4. Pathway to real success: Real success lies in making your life meaningful with intelligent thinking, and intelligent thinking lies in dedicating your life to the pursuit of the following rules - goodwill towards all, utilising available time with discipline and good behaviour, making efforts for others' welfare, using speech only for good work, earning your livelihood only by honest means, frequently remembering Almighty God every day, not neglecting your duty and not being upset when things go wrong. It will be extremely difficult to awaken the feeling of renunciation without dissolving one's own ego.
5. Be cheerful, keep smiling: Arise! Awake! Stop not till your goal is achieved!!! Enmity will not increase if we ignore it as trivial and refuse to be provoked to a reply when someone tries to harm us by ill-will and gossip. One must mentally accept that only silence is the most befitting reply. One who does his duty and does not try to find shortcomings in others is always at peace with himself. Ups and downs are a part of life. Be cheerful, keep smiling. What is the use of a face that cannot laugh nor even smile? Anyone who wants to maintain strength should not be irritated by criticism from others. 
6. You have to learn that you will have to bear some difficulties as a part of life. This is a part of the rule-'as you sow, so shall you reap', and is a result of your earlier acts. Any work which produces doubts, tiredness and despair also has inherent strength. Finish your work and then step aside. Let the result of your work flow forth in the river of time. Choose the work for which you are capable and then pour everything into it. Do not despair whatever the event. You have a right only on your actions of others. Do not criticise, do not have expectations, and do not be afraid. In the end everything will turn out well. Experiences are a part of life. Despair not, as you are leaning against a sound support.
7. Look within:
