Good Living

Let us live joyfully.

Let us form a community of love in a world full of hatred.

Let us live without any kind of hatred.

Let us live joyfully.

Let us form a community of spiritual health, in a world full of illness.

Let us live without any kind of spiritual disease.

Let us live joyfully.

Let us form a community of peace, in a world full of rivalry.

Let us live without any kind of rivalry.

Let us live joyfully.

Let us form a community which possesses nothing.

Let us live on spiritual bliss, radiating spiritual light.
