The fear and anxiety that infect humanity today are the results of this degradation of values, this ignorance of what is of significance and what is not, this want of faith in what the elders and sages have handed down as the wisdom of ages. People prefer what is pleasing to what is beneficial.

Of all the human values, three are most important. The foremost is love of God. Where there is love there is sacrifice. There arises purity of heart. There should be a fusion of love, sacrifice and purity. They are not mere human qualities. They constitute vital organs of a human being. They are as essential for a human being as the head, hands and legs for the body. Without these attributes, no one is a complete human being.

All are brothers and sisters. All are one, be alike to every­one. That is Unity... the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God.

After you develop your Self-confidence and love for God then you can share your experiences with others. But it is a good rule to talk very little, even about God.

God is the mother and father of the world. Our parents are the mother and father of this body.

You must welcome tests because it gives you confidence and it ensures promotion.

Assess the work of whatever others do to you or say about you, and cultivate fortitude and the understanding to appreciate their behaviour and pardon their faults. This capacity is as invaluable as truth, righteousness, wisdom, non-violence, renunciation, delight and compassion. It is all that one need possess for spiritual advancement.
