Life is like a train journey. In the journey of life, children and young adults have a long way to go and the elders have to alight from the train pretty soon. Whichever stage you are in your life, you must learn to make your journey comfortable and happy. Do not carry heavy unwanted luggage with you; that will make your journey miserable. Do not indulge in fault-finding and in picking quarrels with others. Anger, hatred, envy, jealousy - these are the heavy luggage you should avoid taking with you on your journey. Don't desire to have the best things only for yourselves. Share with others around the good things you are given. Be truthful, just and calm under provocation, and be full of love in your dealings with others. These will make your journey a pleasure.
-Divine Discourse, Vol 13, Ch 3, Jan 6, 1975 .
