New Year's message....for all

Man expects the New Year
to confer on him and the world
at large peace, happiness and prosperity.

But the welfare of the world
depends on man's conduct and behaviour.
Man's conduct depends on his mind.

The nature of the mind depends on thoughts.
Only when man's thoughts are based on truth
will the world flourish.

One who aspires for the welfare
of the world should see to it that his thoughts
and actions are in accordance with his aspirations.

The New Year brings with it
neither happiness nor misery.
Man attains happiness or misery
based on the actions he performs.
So, he should perform righteous deeds.
