Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.
Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.
Do not love leisure. Waste not a minute. Be bold. Realize the Truth, here and now!
Your duty is to treat everybody with love as a manifestation of the Lord.
Humility is not cowardice. Meekness is not weakness. Humility and meekness are indeed spiritual powers.
If you do not know the laws of right conduct, you cannot form your character.
Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.
An evil man is a saint of the future. See good in everything. Destroy the evil-finding quality. Develop the good-finding quality. Rise above good and evil.
Always do good to others. Be selfless. Mentally remove everything and be free. This is divine life. This is the direct way to Moksha or salvation.
Crave for a thing, you will get it. Renounce the craving, the object will follow you by itself.
Thinking of disease constantly will intensify it. Feel always ‘I am healthily in body and mind.
There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.
Today is your own. Tomorrow perchance may never come.
