You will have to strive earnestly to remain ever centred in God, no matter in what way He may keep you. If the mind is fixed on God, the question of material wants or complaints, of honour or disgrace does not arise.
The more you let your mind dwell on Him, the more you will find yourself improving in body and mind. By discussions on Divine things and by a simple, frugal life, you will have to prepare yourself.
You must become calm and healthy. When thinking, think of Him; when working, let it be His service only. You are by nature good and kind-hearted, but you will have to become good in every respect. On no account allow your thoughts to dwell on wants and complaints. Learn to adapt yourself to circumstances as they arise-then only can there be hope for peace and tranquillity.
