SRI RAMCHANDRA\u2019S COMMANDMENTS\u000A\u201CDiscipline with love:\u000ACorrects baseness of worldly passion Fortifies the Heart with virtuous principles Enlightens the mind with useful knowledge Furnishes enjoyment from within itself.\u201D\u000ALalaji Maharaj\u000AIt is a fact that man is in search of happiness and somehow this happiness seems to be closely linked up with the \u201CPeace of Mind\u201D. Man\u0027s efforts in fulfilling the demands of the body have been continuous and labour of extreme concentration and untold mortification of both body and mind have gone into his struggle, to live and realise happiness in terms of the wants of his body. True also indeed we have felt that in transitoriness of happiness achieved, there can be no real happiness. The very definition of illusion - Maya - is precisely this transitoriness of all material and body-conscious and body-related happiness. The search for the Eternal and the permanent happiness is the real search and this entails the renunciation of the search for the transitoriness of happiness or success. Surely men have thought a different solution for wish fulfilment and satiation of desires. They endeavour to realise the Eternal in the temporal, the Infinite in the finite,\u000A63\u000A
