Think over your wish
The search for eternal peace defines this age. Humans pursue prosperity, but all possessions are left behind at death. Life is held within the five elements, yet greed dominates. In previous ages, beings worked for harmony to reach higher realms. Now, negativity prevails as each claims superiority. A story illustrates the folly of arrogant desire: a being sought immortality and the power to burn anyone he touched. He tested this power on Śiva, who fled. Viṣṇu, assuming a form, tricked the being into dancing until he placed his own hand on his head, destroying himself. Therefore, actions and promises carry consequences. All seek their own good, but the divine principle is one. It is both the cosmic self and that which manifests on earth. Cultivate a humble heart. Awaken to shared joy and alleviate the pain of all creatures. The whole world is one house. True forgiveness requires releasing inner resentment. A saint persisted in his divine invocation even through execution, his faith unbroken by fire. Therefore, remain humble, kind, and peaceful. Perform good actions.
"Even many politicians... are getting money, perhaps for the next elections. But that is also greed."
"In Hanumān’s each and every hair of his body is vibrating with the name of Rāma."
