To live peacefully and happily
"If we want to
live in this world peacefully and happily, we should allow others also to live
peacefully and happily, so that we can make this world something which is
worthy of life." Unless and until we adjust ourself to live according to
these noble principles, we cannot expect happiness and peace in this world. We
cannot expect this happiness and peace from heaven simply by praying. If we act
according to moral principles by upholding human dignity, we can create our own
heaven right here in this world. We can also create the hell-fire on this earth
itself if we abuse valuable human life. By not knowing how to live according to
this universal cosmic law, we often stumble. If each man tries to lead a
harmless and respectable life, people can enjoy real heavenly bliss better than
the kind that some people hope to gain after death.
It is superfluous to
create a heaven elsewhere to reward virtue, or a hell to punish vice; virtue
and evil have inevitable reactions in this world itself regardless of religious
faith. In fact, Compassion and Loving-kindness for all creatures is the onlý
way to generate peace and happiness in our life as well as in the society. By
helping others morally, we help ourself and by helping ourself morally, we help
others...."
