From My Spiritual Diary-14:

· A conscious life is an interesting life. Most of us are half awake and half dreaming. Unconscious cerebration must become clear, definite thinking. Then alone is life worth living. Minimize your body consciousness. (Swami Yatiwarananda)

· Have mental freshness, always have the mind of a youngster. Be a child again. Be born a second time. It is imperative to have mental freshness. Cultivate it consciously . Try to be in tune with the Divine. The waters of life are flowing. Open the channels! Open the windows! Off with bad air! Let there be freshness within, always. (Swami Yatiswarananda)

· When something is repeatedly done, it becomes a habit. Man can make or mar his career by the force of habit. It has its effect even on animals. Habit is the most potential factor in man’s life. Habit is said to be man’s second nature. Therefore, man has the power to change both his habit and his nature. In carving a new career, man is never too late. If he resolves, in a day he can change his habit. Following it, his nature changes. (Swami Chidbhavananda).

· He who blames others proves his own inadequacy. (Swami Turiyananda)

· Desires are in no way allayed by enjoyed, but rather increased more and more even as fire grows by being fed with clarified butter. (King Yayati)

· Deficiencies in all fields are made up by hard and sustained work. Spiritual realization depends on the strength of our aspiration for it, and aspiration can make up for deficiencies. (Swami Tapasyananda)
