From My Spiritual Diary-16:

· Don’t ever consider yourself low and unworthy. The past is past. Do not worry over it. Clamour before Sri Ramakrishna. Demand like little children telling, “Why won’t you show yourself?” For, indeed, He is our very own, our nearest relation. (Swami Madhavananda)

· Sanctity never enters into a lazy life. If the mind becomes saturated with worldly thoughts and feelings, it grows dense, heavy, unresponsive. Even in the hour of devotion, our spiritual aspiration when we try to awaken it, does not respond, as our mind is dull and heavy. But this does not happen with people who live carefully and thoughtfully. They do not slacken in their ardour. They do not leave their spiritual practice for the last moment. All through the day, in everything they do, they are preparing themselves. When we do this, even our ordinary tasks can be full of lofty inspiration. (Swami Paramananda)

· No evil befalls a man who does good. (Bhagavad Gita)

· The true spirit of religion is whole and whole-some. It promotes unification and all inclusive integration. The mark of true devotion is it unifies man and God, man and man and the various limbs of creation and society. (Swami Sastrananda)

· One should not abandon one’s duty though it is attended with evil. All undertakings are enveloped by evil as fire by smoke. (Bhagavad Gita)
