Install God in the altar of your heart and meditate on Him constantly. In spite of sorrow, difficulties and calamities that you may encounter, hold on to him firmly. They trouble your body, not you - for, you are separate from your body. We cultivate qualities like anger, jealousy, envy, pride due to our contact with the outside world. Only when we get rid of these qualities, we enjoy peace. Therefore we have to start our spiritual journey with truth and righteousness. When truth and righteousness go together, peace will reign. Peace brings love. Where there is peace, there hatred cannot be. When we develop hatred against someone, it means the spring of love has dried up in our heart. When there is love in our heart, we do not get angry, even if someone accuses us. Hence always follow the motto, "Love All, Serve All."
