Rise above the deceptions and temptations of the mind. This is your duty. You are born for this only; all other duties are self-created and self-imposed owing to ignorance.

To make the mind obey you is a spiritual discipline.

Fame is the penalty of success. Jealousy is the penalty of fame.

Humility is not cowardice. Meekness is not weakness. Humility and meekness are indeed spiritual powers.

Learn to give, give in plenty, give with love, give without any expectation, one does not lose anything by giving, on the other hand you get back a thousand fold.

Give up salt, give up sugar, give up spices, give up vegetables, give up chutnies, give up tamarind. Serve Bhangis, serve rogues, serve inferiors, remove faecal matter. Do not revenge, resist not evil, return good for evil, bear insult and injury. Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.

The secret of life is not enjoyment but education through experience.
