Undisturbed calmness is obtained by cultivating friendliness towards the happy and compassion towards the unhappy; delight in the virtuous and indifference towards the wicked.

Share your possessions with others for you are only a trustee. Anyway one day or the other you will have to part with it.

Grief grows from desire and attachment. Happiness cannot be attained by satisfying desire as new desires continue to crop up. Hence, happiness lies only in contentment. Such contentment leads to peace of mind. Peace of mind leads to concentration. Concentration is the basis for meditation. Through meditation the mind merges into the ultimate Sachchidananda. There is no bliss greater than this. Experience of the supreme bliss is the supreme happiness.

(Bhaktimala 1976)
