Ø Never give way to evil thoughts. When they creep in, repeat the name of the Master fervently and you will be rid of them.
Ø
Ø Unless one can restrain one’s passion, anger etc. it is impossible to get anywhere near God. One’s duty is to lead an honest, pious and selfless life and above all to conduct oneself as the servant of God. … You should serve the people without hoping for anything in return. If you remain steadfast in your faith, have no prejudice against other faiths and hold fast to truth, then the Divine Mother will guide you and lead you on steadily irrespective of the situation you may be in.
Ø
Ø You should pray to the Mother to make you pure in heart. She will set things right. Make your heart pure and everything will be all right in due course. When purity of heart is attained, you will have a taste of spiritual joy. That joy is incomparable. The worldly pleasures are but a speck of dust when weighed against that mountain of concentrated joy.
Ø
Ø The man who has lost his moral character is really dead… One who has lost his moral anchorage will suffer for it in many, many lives to come.
Ø
Ø When the mind is overcome with evil thoughts, it becomes dejected and inactive like a mouse in the grip of a cat. But why should you suffer it to be like that? In such situations, you should summon up within you the strength of a lion and shake off all evil thoughts. It is no excuse to say that your mind is not unde5r your control. Why should you let your mind take the upper hand?
Ø
Ø You are the master of your own mind; keep it pure.
Ø
Ø The greatest duty of man is to keep his mind centered on God. With every breath, we should think of Him.
Ø
Ø The function of the heart is to love and that of the head is to discriminate between truth and untruth, between what is and what is not. Love and discrimination have to be combined. For the realization of God, both are necessary. (Swami Vijnanananda)
