You know the chaotic condition the world is in today. Disorder and violence are rampant everywhere. Peace and security are not to be found anywhere. Where is peace to be found? It is within us. Security is also within us. How is insecurity to be removed and security secured? By giving up desires. In the language of ancient Bharatiyas, this was termed Vairagya (giving up attachment). This does not mean giving up home and family and retiring to the forest. It is simply a reduction of wants. As a householder, limit your desires to the needs of the family! As a student, stick to your studies. As a professional, adhere to the duties of your profession. Man is raked by numerous troubles because he has no confidence in the Self. Aspirants on the spiritual path are bound to face troubles caused by six enemies – lust, anger, greed, infatuation, pride, and envy. One must overcome them. – Divine Discourse, Aug 23, 1995
