Truth is proved when it is combined with humility. Problem: When we think we know the truth and we are truthful, we generally tend to also have arrogance of that truth.   This is why we argue and try to prove our point to the other person.   We are not able to see what the other person has to say and continue to put forth our own idea or perspective.   This sometimes leads to futile arguments and conflicts. Solution: When I am truthful, I also have humility.   With humility I am able to put forth my idea to the other person in a detached way.    The truth in me will enable me to understand the other person accurately and will keep me open to see his point of view too.   This naturally will get my point across without much of difficulty, as the other person is also able to see my point of view.  

"The TRUTH is that TRUTH IS"

Looking at others' mistakes leads to overlooking one's own.

                      To train the mind with love is to make it obey at the time of need.   Problem : Usually we try hard to make the mind obey in difficult situations.  The situation would be one that induces negative emotions and we try to make the mind think only positive. But at that time the mind is not willing to obey my order.  I try harder and finally give  in to these negative emotions.   Solution : Just as a mother teaches her child with love and patience until the child learns, so also I need to be a mother to my mind.  I need to teach it positive thoughts and help it to let go of worries.  When I thus train it with love, when I need peace, i.e., at the time of need it will obey me naturally. I then don’t have to struggle.  

True Peace True peace can be experienced only when we stop giving and taking sorrow. In order not to give sorrow we need a clear heart that has no ill feelings and for not taking sorrow we need a big heart that can tolerate and help other souls to get over their weaknesses.
