Always attend to your duties with a pleasant and smiling face. There is no use putting a ‘castor oil face’. “Happiness is union with God.” That is real Divinity. When you are confronted with difficult situations, do not get upset constantly worrying, “Oh! How do I cross this situation?” For example, young people are often confronted with “marriage worry”. Such worry will worsen the situation. Repose your faith in God. Think that it’s not marriage, but ‘my raise’, an opportunity for your betterment! If you develop such an attitude, your life will be sanctified. Whoever does namasmarana, whatever be the name one takes and wherever one is, one’s life will be sanctified. He will be free from sin! You needn’t be too much concerned with tune and rhythm. There is only one raga, that’s Hridayaraga (Tune arising from one’s own heart). That is ‘Soham’. Let your life be tuned to this raga of ‘Soham’. Then, whatever activity you undertake, it becomes a success!
