Tell me your habits and I tell you who you are.

It’s fine to have what we need to live, but we should try to lead a dignified life in which we are capable of making a living, capable of taking care of ourselves, and maybe, if possible, we should try to help others. But we should not live with no other purpose than to gather belongings, because it becomes such an addiction, such an attachment, that even when we leave the body, we won’t be able to think about anything else. We will be so attached to all of it that we won’t be able to escape the sphere of this material world, and we will whirl around here like ghosts. It’s not a joke, it’s not a play, and it’s not an invention—that’s how it goes. In order to be able to leave this material world even when we leave the body, it is very necessary to be detached from it all.

If we will not think ill of anyone, our love would be universal. When we forgive the guilty and not wish ill of him, we will have no enemy. A forgiving person is always happy. It is impossible to describe the happiness, calmness of mind and peace which results from forgiveness. /Baba Sawan Singh/
