The vision of God is possible with the power that is gained through concentration of the mind. At that time we will come to know that God is everywhere, everything is God.
Creating fear and respect in order to teach obedience cannot be called disciplining. True constructive disciplining takes place when love is allowed to blossom.

We need to focus on our destination. Let the thoughts arising in your mind pass by, like watching scenery through the window of a car. The thoughts cannot affect you if you don't allow them to capture your attention.
Love is the center-point of life. We should perform all our actions while remaining focused on this center-point.
Someone full of love and compassion cannot draw a line between two countries, two faiths or religions.
