In the company of God conscious people all your affairs can be set right II Rahao II

In your own home (your heart) you shall feel the presence of Lord that will give you comfort and peace and you will be saved from the cycle of rebirth II 3 II
O Lord you know to read every heart and you fashion every chance that fulfils the yearning of hearts to unite with you.
