(I started maintaining 'Spiritual Diaries' more than ten years ago. They were meant for my personal use only. As such, I did not bother to note down the source of the various materials. Now as I feel that they could be useful to other spiritual aspirants, I have started posting them in this blog. However, I shall try to indicate the source wherever possible. I am sorry for this inevitable omission.)
....
* The poison generated by hatred could kill twenty persons. So don’t hate anybody.
* Much more energy is used up in being angry once, than is expended in working the whole day.
* Finding fault will only generate poison within you.
* Give up vanity and pride.
* All troubles come to an end when the ego dies.
* Egotism is the nature of ‘tamas’. It is begotten by ignorance. It is futile to be egotistic. Neither the body nor wealth will last. (Bhagavad Gita)
* Egotism, sleep, gluttony, lust, anger and the like are the traits of people with ‘tamas’. (Bhagavad Gita)
* Men with ‘rajas’ entangle themselves in many activities.(Bhagavad Gita)
* A man endowed with ‘sattva’ is quiet and peaceful. He earns only enough money to give his stomach simple food. He never flatters men to get money. He does not hanker for name and fame. His worship, charity and meditation are done in secret; people do not know about them at all. (Bhagavad Gita)
* ‘Sattva’ is the last step of stairs; next is the roof. As soon as ‘sattva’ is acquired, there is no further delay in attaining God. One step forward and God is realized. (Bhagavad Gita)
