The change will only happen outside once we change within ourselves.

Do not use intoxicants of any sort. We who should be serving the world should not ruin our health by smoking and drinking. The money we waste on these things can be used for so many useful things. With the money we smoke away, we can buy an artificial leg for one who has lost a leg, pay for an eye operation for someone with a cataract, or buy a wheelchair for a polio victim. Or, if nothing else, we can buy some spiritual books for the local library.

It is never a good practice to continue to sleep after sunrise. We should not think of staying in bed once we are awake; it increases laziness and dullness. Those who cannot decrease the amount of sleep quickly may do it in gradual stages. Those who do regular spiritual practice do not need much sleep.

Consoling a miserable soul, wiping the tears of a crying person is greater than any worldly achievement.

No one becomes pure and selfless overnight; it involves time and concentrated effort, coupled with tremendous patience and love.

Pray to God: It's all right if you don't love me, but please let me love you!

Everything is God, there is nothing else but God.
