Basic principles of The Art of Living:

.

1. You know there are ups and downs in life. Nice things happen, unpleasant things happen. The first principle is: in all situations, keep your mind balanced. Often what happens, when things go our way, we are so happy. But when things don't go our way, we get depressed and angry. To maintain equanimity is the first principle.

2. The next principle is to accept people as they are. I accept difference; It could be the temperament, the ideology, whatever. Accept them as they are. A very important principle.

3. The third principle is, do not be a soccer ball of the opinions of others. Don't worry what others are thinking of you. In fact, no one has time to think about you. Look inside yourself and see what is right and what is not right for you, for yourself.

4. The next point is, I see no intention behind the mistakes of others. Very important. Inside every culprit there is a victim, crying out for help. Recognizing that.

5. And live in the present moment.

.

These are the five basic things that we have to keep in mind.

.

What about these basic principles? Three things that happen. Purity of heart, clarity of mind, and sincerity in action. That's all.
