Values of Life (On Wings and Wheels pages 31 - 35)
- By being disciplined in outer lifestyle we contribute to our inner stability - tapas (voluntary discipline) enables titiksha (forbearance)
- Charity has to be a way of life not just an occurrence here and there - we have to give our whole being (i.e. effort, time, funds, skills, etc.) for us to know what charity really is
- We discover the true value of an object, being or situation when we give it away - the best way to prove or disprove the latter is to try being charitable
- Keeping our outer surroundings pure is exponentially more easy than keeping our inner being pure - funnily and sadly we are so bold in claiming that our physical environment is not a reflection of our mind
- By forcing ourselves to smile and speak gently, inevitably the force will disappear and these positive behaviours will be natural - living a value based life is only complicated and difficult if we want it to be
