Peace of mind is gained by the centering of the spiritual consciousness on the Prophet of God; therefore you should study the spiritual teachings, and receive the water of life from the Holy Utterances. Then by translating these high ideals into action, your entire character will be changed, and your mind will not only find peace, but your entire being will find joy and enthusiasm.
