How does one find the right direction to go in life? This can be a profound and difficult question.
That is the reason one should seek and search and then find a friend, philosopher and guide, a spiritual teacher, a living person who lives the higher values of life and dedicates their life for the good of others. The company of such persons always inspires you to lead the life that is more internally oriented and less externally focused. Such persons inspire you to prepare the ground of your mind through contemplative, meditative and prayerful practices.
Once you start practicing those practices, your mind is purified. When your mind is purified you can see the path of life with more clarity. Your intellect is also purified, so that you can discriminate between what is right and what is wrong, not from a short-term perspective but from a long-term goal of life.
Sit somewhere in isolation, relax your whole body first and then take some deep breaths, breathing naturally while focusing your mind to the rhythm of the breaths. This simple act on your part will calm you down.
This is the right time for prayer. Pray with all love and devotion to whichever form of God you trust in to show you the right direction. This may not come in one day, and you need to persevere. Do so with love and trust and you will surely get the answer from within for the Divine resides in your heart.
With love and blessings,
Baba
