Whoever aspires to win the grace of God should cultivate at the outset the quality of Kshama (Forgiveness).

If the desires are cut off one by one, then there is peace. When the desires go one by one then there is die-mind. Then there is peace of mind.

It is only by means of purity of mind can you come close to the Lord.

Virtue is the fragrance of the flowers which the tree of life puts forth. Educated people must be identified in society by their strict adherence to virtue, not by more skilled methods of escaping the consequences of vice.

Self-confidence is confidence in the Atma; it is an unwavering love for the Divinity within you. That is very important. What will help you to develop that confidence? Be equalminded, be satisfied with what you have. Be happy.

Desire is storm, greed is whirlpool, pride is precipice, attachment is avalanche, ego is volcano. Discard desire and you are liberated.

Only that which is got by hard effort will yield lasting benefit.
