Excerpt:

You should have a life where you think about matters. Try to evaluate them from the level of intelligence. What is this life? Am I living it properly? What is the relationship around me? Is there any God? Anything, you have to enquire. Such an enquiry should be there even in your profession otherwise you will not have professional excellence. A professional should be thoughtful, thoughtful. What new plans or projects can I represent or can I think of with a view to increase the utility of our company and increase the resources and how can the resources be employed. There also it is thought and introspection.

Am I living in the right manner? Do I need any qualities of the mind and heart? What is my life judged from the true mental and intelligential level? How to become good? How to become noble? How to become charitable? How to become amiable and loving?

I only want you to be happy. Look happy, be happy, experience happiness. Interact with people in a happy manner, amiable manner. Nothing else. For smiling and being light you need only the mind, the mind you already have. Understand the magnitude and potential of the mind. Mind has got infinite potential and infinite magnitude.
