"If we want to live meaningful lives, we must keep five things in mind:
1.Never squander an opportunity to help others.
2.In the coming year, we should avoid using harsh words. Never speak ill of others.
3.Ensure that spiritual practices like chanting your mantra and meditation are not missed, even for a day.
4.Strive to spend at least a little time in Satsang.
5.Every day, pray with all your heart to the guru or God for purity of mind and the strength to perform good actions."
I'm really going to do my best with # 2, with the possible exception of Swami Kryiananda, LOL. I feel that one exception is allowed!
What exceptions are you guys taking?
Steve will take as an exception Donald Trump, I reckon.
