Just as oil is present in every part of the olive, so love permeates every part of creation.

Never do anything that taints your mind. Wrong actions cause negative or evil mental vibrations that are reflected in your whole appearance and personality. Engage in those actions and thoughts that nurture the good qualities you want to have.

Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.

When the mind is calm, how quickly, how smoothly, how beautifully you will perceive everything.

It is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.

Every night in sleep God takes away all your troubles to show you that you are not a mortal being; you are spirit.

To the last day of your life, be positive; try to be cheerful. Even at the very end, don't think, "I am finished." Instead of pitying yourself, you should be thinking, "O ye who are left on this desolate shore still to mourn and deplore, it is I who pity you." Death will not give you any trouble if you have a clear conscience; and if you go with this thought: "Lord, I am in Thy hands."
