The whole universe is a temple and all beings of universe are Gods and Goddesses and we are their devotees. Pleasing the living beings is the worship of God. If we please each other, by thinking them as God, there will be peace in the society. We are all the children of one God. Our bodies are different, but God in all these bodies is the same. Therefore we are all one. Loving each other is life and hating each other is death. The hating person is the only ghost. The hatred can be satisfied by love only, but not by hatred. Loving is the characteristic of God and the hatred is the characteristic of ghost. Unity is life, diversity is death. If we think that, we are all one, we will be happy. If we think that we are high and others are low, there will be unhappiness.If there will be love among the people of a family, street, village, taluka, district, state, country or the world, there will be happiness, If there will be hatred there will be unhappiness. The anger is one's own enemy, peace is one's own friend and peace is other's enemy. Patience is the only tapas. The marriage is for mutual service and experiencing the peace of one's true self. The sexual indulgence is only for getting children, but not for enjoyment. The marriage is for living a moral life and to give birth to the self realized ones. If we are after beauty, we cannot observe chastity and we fall a prey to craziness and we will be debauchers and we will be beaten by the people, so moral behavior is the only beauty. The sexual craziness cannot be destroyed if you marry or don't marry. Therefore those who destroy craziness by the power of discrimination are only happy. The whole world is my house and all living beings are my family members. The whole world is myself and I am the master of the whole world. For a doctor the patients are the only Gods and Goddesses, and he is their worshiper. If the patient laughs, the doctor laughs, if the patient cries, the doctor cries. The patients are the only Gods to the doctors. This is the moral behavior of doctors. If food, sleep, fear and sexual indulgence are the only goals of man, later he will be born as dogs, pigs and foxes after death. An ordinary pandita is one who considers other's women as mothers and sisters and other's men as fathers and brothers and other's objects as a soil and all other living beings as oneself. You need not be literate compulsorily, but you have to learn to help others, that is all. Helping others who have hurted us is the only moral behavior. The people, who have no dispassion of sensory objects, cannot lead a moral life. morality is enjoying sensory objects by distributing them among ourselves. By this there will be no quarrels battles wars and world wars and the world peace will be established. Therefore Peace can be established in society by observing the moral rules

By observing the moral rules, the maintenance of the body can be carried on, but the mind becames agitated due to craziness of sensory objects and experiences unhappiness. Mental peace can be attained by distroying the craziness of sensory objects There is no happiness in sensory objects, because the sensual enjoyment leads to weariness of the body and tiresomeness of the mind. But when the desired sensory object is obtained the mind becomes motionless and the happiness is experienced due to the reflection of bliss of one's own true self. When we get the sensory objects of our own likeness, during deep sleep, practicing pranayama, during fainting and yawning our mind becomes motionless and we experience happiness by the reflection of our own true self. So there is happiness in one's own true self. But man thinks that the happiness is in sensory objects due to ignorance Man is suffering in the wheel of birth and death due to the craziness of sensory objects. The house in which there is no discrimination of self and non-self, happiness and unhappiness is like a burial ground. The ghosts stay there. Let the body die now only, but the craziness of sensory objects has to be destroyed. Human life is a precious life in the waking world, because man has the power of discrimination. Man by his power of discrimination can destroy unhappiness completely and can attain permanent happiness. But this cannot be attained by birds and beasts, because they have no power of discrimination. You will be happy to the extent, you forget the world. You will be unhappy to the extent, you are attached to the world. Man forgets his gross body and the world in deep sleep and remains as consciousness bliss existance by forgetfulness and experiences temporary happiness. Now if we have to experience eternal happiness, we have to give up the gross body consciousness and the world consciously and remain as consciousness bliss existence conciously. When the mind is agitated there is unhappiness. When the mind is firm there is happiness. Burning the passion of sensory objects by the power of discrimination and by realizing that, the eternal bliss is in one's true self and standing still in one's own true self is the only Tapas. We have got human birth but if there is no power of discrimination, what is the use of human birth? Man is an architect of his own fortune. By doing sinful actions, we can become the ghosts and by attaining super conscious state one can remain as God. Man has to rear the result of action that he does, it is inevitable. Therefore The mental peace can be attained by giving up the craziness of sensory objects.

Though the craziness of sensory objects is removed but the body consciusness can not be destroyed. But the cycle of birth and death will be continued till the body consiousness will be there. Due to cycle of births and deaths the unhappiness is expireanced. You are not this insentient body, but you are sentient consciousness. You talk when you are alive, but why you don't talk when you leave the gross body ? Because the talking entity has left the gross body, that means you are not the gross body but you are the knowing entity. If we have to talk we have to have consciousness i e we are consciousness. We are the knower of all things. (sensory objects, gross body, five organs of action, five organs of knowledge, the five pranas, the mind, the intellect, the organ of memory, the ego etc, the three states i e waking dream and deep sleep, all lives) but nothing can know us. If I am the gross body of waking state, I cannot know the dream and deep sleep states, because the waking gross body is not there in dream and deep sleep. If I am the dream body I cannot know the waking and deep sleep states, because the dream body is not there in waking and deep sleep. The waking body and dream body are not there in deep sleep, but I know the deep sleep also. That means I am the witness to the three states. I have imagined the dream and waking states. That means they are not really existing. In the same way I know the nescience of deep sleep. (I know that I did not know anything in deep sleep). That means I have no ignorance. I have imagined all the three states. All the three states are not really existing. But I am the only really existing entity i e I am existence consciousness bliss. If we meditate that we are existence cosciousnees and bliss and attain superconscious state (Turyavasta), there will be no rebirth. You are not this gross body, but you are consciousness bliss existence. The rebirth will be there till there will be attachment to sensory objects and body consciousness and there will be misery. When we stand still in self consciousness by removing the attachment to the sensory objects by the power of discrimination (Self realisation), the eternal bliss can be obtained. Therefore The eternal bliss can be obtained by self realisation.
