Believe firmly that the body is the residence of God, that the food you eat is

the offering you make to your deity; that bathing is the ceremonial bathing of

the Divine Spirit in you; the ground you walk upon is His domain; the joy you

derive is His gift; the grief you experience is His lesson that you tread the

path more carefully. Remember Him at all times; many people think of God only

when grief overtakes them; of course, it is good to do so; it is better than

seeking the help of those who are also equally liable to grief. But, it is

infinitely better to think of God in grief and in joy, in peace and strife. The

proof of rain is in the wetness of the ground; the proof of Bhakthi (devotion)

is in the Shanti (equanimity) the bhaktha (devotee) has, Shanthi which protects

him against the onslaughts of success and failure, fame and dishonour, gain and

losself.- Baba
