From My Spiritual Diary-30:

· Success is for one who is flexible, accommodating – without compromising on principles – not for the rigid.
· The Divine alone is our friend, true support.
· To make your life meaningful, to reach your goal, you have to organize your life around your Ideal. Proceed to draw up the priorities as best permitted by your life circumstances.
· For an earnest seeker wanting to make a success of his life, there are no small things which can be neglected and big ones which alone are to be given importance. Remember it is the small which prepare you to handle the big. Your habits, your trends are shaped by the way you feel and act in apparently insignificant matters. They are the tests of your sincerity. And without sincerity you cannot truly hope to make a success of anything.
· It is better to avoid being unpleasant, unless you are forced to be frank or obliged to be forthright.
· We will not speak falsehood; we are not obliged to tell the whole truth in every situation, either. What is wholesome is that we do not mislead others. Silence is often the best way out. Indeed, for that, one must have a moral stature.
· If you are obliged to give advice, do it in a spirit of disinterested service. Do not claim unquestioning action in terms of your direction. Even if the person who approaches you is well intentioned, he may find himself too weak to act up or the situation may change. In any case, do not bind him to your advice. Best is to abstain from giving advice, except when imperative. (M.P.Pandit)
