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).

Our attitude should be: Whatever happens I will remain strong, courageous and happy.

Just beneath the surface of all experiences in life is God's, or the Guru's, compassionate face.

Go out and serve the suffering. Learn to place others in front of yourself.

Love one another without any expectations. Then, there is no need to go anywhere in search of heaven.

Every night, contemplate: What good did I do today? How can I do better tomorrow?

Amidst sorrows, the only thing that enlivens us is optimistic faith. Never lose that faith.
