Whatever work we do, our mind should be centered on God.

When the storm brews and the waves swell, only an experienced captain can control the ship and save it.

As you perform good actions selflessly, true love will blossom, which will purify our emotional mind.

While eating, our attention should not be focused just on the taste. Imagine our chosen deity or guru is present within us and that we are feeding Him. This will turn eating into a spiritual practice.

Writing a diary every evening before going to bed is a good habit. We can record in the diary how much time we have devoted to our spiritual practice. The diary should be written in a way that helps us see our mistakes and correct them. It should not be a mere document of other peoples' faults or our daily transactions.

When we come to know who we truly are, we will see ourselves in all people.

Group chanting and prayer is very powerful. It can bring important changes.
