Children, if we can do archana of the 1000 Names of the Divine Mother daily with devotion, we will grow spiritually. There will never be lack of life's essentials, food and clothing, in a family that chants the 1000 Names with devotion.

Keep the child within alive. A child never tires of hearing the birds sing, never gets bored looking at flowers.

Understand this great truth: The happiness that comes from the pleasures of the world is but a minute reflection of the infinite bliss that comes from within your own Self.

Children, we cannot control our mind without controlling our desire for taste. The health aspect, not the taste, should be the prime criteria in choosing the food. We cannot relish the blossoming of the heart without foregoing the taste of the tongue.

In most cases, worldly love ends in hatred and deep sorrow.

We should serve others without any expectations whatsoever. When others throw thorns at us, we should be able to throw flowers back at them.

Progress can be slow and gradual. Continue putting in effort with patience, enthusiasm and faith.
