From My Spiritual Diary-28:

() A public worker must be honest and above board. Don’t find fault with others. Rather, look at your own faults. Men cannot see and do not want to see their own frailties. They make all sorts of useless arguments to support their misdeeds.

() Every Indian will have to qualify himself to become a leader of men which means that he is to be a man of character, selfless, high-souled and large-hearted. And he has to love his countrymen. We have to train ourselves to work for the good of the people. One has to exercise self-restraint and remember God. He will give us strength to act.

() Selfishness has got the whole nation in its grip… He who sacrifices his life for the good of the many is truly alive.

() It is the duty of everyone to donate a certain portion of his earned ijncome for public welfare. For that is the law of nature. You will get back whatever you give.

() The goal of life is Self-realization. You should be content with getting what is barely necessary for sustaining your life, and do the work of God without any eye for reward.

() Every substance has three aspects: name, form and essence. So long as we are unable to transcend the realm of name and form, we cannot reach the core of Truth or the essence. It is only when we realize the Atman (Self), the ultimate Truth behind all things, that we attain evearlasting peace.

() It is pride born of ignorance that blinds our vision. In fact, glory pervades everything, but we cannot see Him because we are reluctant to cast off the veil of nescience that covers our vision. Remove the veil and you will find Him everywhere self-manifested.
