The real mistake humans have committed lays in the inability to differentiate between requirements and luxuries.

Spiritual love is without limits or boundaries. Worldly love is superficial and fluctuating.

With the exception of very few who have gained higher spiritual tendencies in prior lives, Self-realization is not possible for anyone without the blessings of a guru. Think of the guru as the manifestation of God in this world. Take even the most insignificant word of the guru as an order and obey it. That is the real service to the guru. There is no greater austerity. The guru's blessings flow automatically to any obedient disciple. That is the real service to the guru.

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

Do no talk while eating.

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

Once you learn the art of relaxation, everything happens spontaneously and effortlessly.
