Simplicity

If someone truly lives in God's will, they find joy in all pain and simplicity in all complexity; even the torments of hell would be a joy to them.

Pilgrimages, yoga, renunciation, wisdom, rituals, penance, charity, self-study, self-control, recitation of prayers, and austere devotion, all of which are praised in the Vedas and Bhagavata, have one single reward: devotion to Hari.

The muttering of prayers, austere penance, performing sacrifices, subjugation of the mind and the senses, undertaking sacred vows, charity, dispassion, right judgment, Yoga (union with God) and Realization - the fruit of all these is devotion to the feet of the Lord of the Raghus; without this no one can attain lasting peace.

Those who are free from attachment, pride, and worldly dualities, and who live a simple life of purity and dependence on others for their basic needs, are considered to be sacred places of pilgrimage.

Patience, joy, prosperity, satisfaction, and happiness are qualities associated with the attribute of Sattwa. These include purity, health, contentment, faith, liberality, compassion, forgiveness, and firmness. One also finds benevolence, equanimity, truth, and the fulfillment of obligations, as well as mildness, modesty, calmness, and simplicity. Additionally, there is observance of obligatory practices, dispassionateness, fearlessness, and disregard for the concept of good or evil. These qualities also involve appropriating objects only when obtained by gift, absence of greed, regard for others' interests, and compassion for all creatures.
