Conflicts

The world is beset by difficulty.  They are caused by lack of proper communication or understanding.  This results in conflict and war.  This includes conflicts within families.  Cities are at war too.  There is no peace, no happiness and no meaningful relationships.  Victory is difficult to secure under such circumstances.  Heed the good and avoid the bad.  Let us strive for a better and happy life without getting influenced by substances that causes us to be addicted to them.  We must ride the elephant from above and not from below.

Positive and Negative

The positive and the negative, good and bad exists because they both have something to instruct us.  Good minded people through their actions teach us to emulate them while evil minded people teach us through their actions to avoid them.  The purpose of our birth lies in serving us selflessly.  We must engage in activities that will only bring us  peace and contentment and avoid those that bring unhappiness.  Our bodies are similar to a vehicle that are meant to provide positive energy to others.  We must guard against inappropriate thoughts, words and actions because they will rebound on us.  

 - Jagadguru Sri Sharavana Baba

Family

Be courageous, utilise the time and opportunity given to you because you will not get it again so easily.  Perform your duties mindfully.  Look after your family, be united.  A temple can be built only upon the foundation of a happy family.  Conflict invariably destroys. We need to grasp this profound truth.  There is a deep principle governing your family.
