A sadhak (one who does spiritual practice) will not have time to indulge in gossip. They will not feel like talking to anyone in a harsh manner. Those who always indulge in faultfinding will never achieve spiritual progress. Do not harm anyone by thoughts, words or deeds. Be compassionate towards all beings. Ahimsa (nonviolence) is the highest dharma (duty).

When love overflows and is expressed through every word and deed, we call it compassion. That is the goal of religion.

If we have love and compassion in our hearts, then we will wholeheartedly serve those who suffer from lack of food, clothing and shelter.

God realization and self-realization are one and the same. God-realization is nothing but the ability and expansiveness of heart to love everything equally.

Make a firm decision: 'Whatever happens, I will be happy. I will be strong. God is always with me.'

When you get up in the morning, let your first thought be directed towards God.

Let us take from Nature only what we really need, and try to give back to some extent.
