One of the most difficult things to learn is to render service without bossing, without making a fuss about it, and without any consciousness of high and low. In the world of spirituality, humility counts at least as much as utility.

The purpose of life is to realize God within ourselves. This can be done even whilst attending to our worldly duties.

God has to be temporarily cruel in order to be permanently kind.

The satisfaction derived from the fleeting things of life is not lasting; and our wants remain unfulfilled. There is thus a general sense of dissatisfaction accompanied by all kinds of worries.

When love is not at its height, it always creates a mess.

Pure love is matchless in majesty; it has no parallel in power and there is no darkness it cannot dispel.

The objective of spiritual advancement is not so much 'works' but the quality of life free from ego-consciousness.
