If you are seeking true calmness and serenity, you must make friends with your Soul.
Sit down one fine day and make an oath with your Soul to work and cleanse your character. Promise your best friend, the Soul, never to lie, cheat, sleep with many women, kill, or become intoxicated.
That promise is between the two of you–your conniving ego and your authentic Self. No one else will applaude you for this, and no one should even know about this private oath to clean up your act.
Keep cleansing your character and you will find in the beginning that it’s no so easy; there is lots of heat involved in inner-cleansing. That heat will burn up your ego and stretch your will. Keep polishing your character until you come clean.
One fine day, you will arrive at the end of this trial as a noble man, a trustable man, a focused one, a sober man, a compassionate soul accountable to all of society.
On that day, you will feel the serenity of deep running waters coursing through you.
God Speed.
