Whoever aspires to win the grace of God should cultivate at the outset the quality of Kshama (Forgiveness).
The Atma is everywhere.
If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nations. When there is order in the nations, there will peace in the world.
Love helps you to know yourself... turn your vision inward.
Control of senses is an important human value.
Duty without love is deplorable.
Whenever you undertake to do something, do it thoroughly or not at all.
LIFE + DESIRE = MAN; LIFE - DESIRE = GOD.
Without Grace you cannot do anything.
If the desires are cut off one by one, then there is peace. When the desires go one by one then there is die-mind. Then there is peace of mind.
A human body is associated with six stages of transformation, birth, growth, change, evolution, death and destruction.
Limiting birth by artificial means is an absurdly wrong step. The consequences of this act are irresponsible fatherhood or frustrated motherhood.
When you stick to the path of Truth and Righteousness, pain and poverty haunt you. But they are only clouds passing through the sky, hiding for a little time, the splendor of the Sun.
Example, not precept, is the best teaching aid.
You are the Atma. You are permanent. The physical is not permanent. The physical is not the Atma.
The cultivation of Human Values alone is Education.
Real happiness lies within you.
Service is God. Why has God endowed man with a body, a mind and an intellect? Feel with the mind, plan with the intelligence and use the body to serve those who are in need of service. Offer that act of service to God; worship home with that Flower.
Develop divine love. Divine love is completely selfless.
Evil habits, in which men indulge, are the chief cause of disease in the physical as well as the mental state.
It is because the doctrine of human unity based on the spiritual oneness of all beings, is not propagated in the right manner that we have today many divisions leading to many conflicts.
People have become so selfish that they no longer care for others, or anything other than their own welfare.
How can I tolerate the slightest inconvenience to them, the women, the children, the sick, the aged, the blind, the decrepit, that come for counsel, consolation, courage and cure?
