* Truth can be realized only if one devotes oneself whole-heartedly to spiritual practice to the best of one's ability, day after day, month after month, year after year. There is no other path than this. There is no other way to Mukti.
* If one forms the habit of practising Japa and meditation steadfastly every day, it develops into a sort of craving in course of time.
* Try repeatedly to free the mind of all attachments to sense objects by prayers, by discrimination of good and evil, and by the repetition of the Mantra.
* One should not get up or engage in worldly talk immediately after meditation. One should try to make that mood last as long one can.
* Know the Mantra to be the source of great power and the very essence of the Chosen Ideal. One has to catch hold of the gross to reach the subtle; and through the subtle, one attains to the super-subtle, which is beyond the reach of mind and speech.
* If the mind is conquered, the world can be conquered. All spiritual practice and discipline are for that alone - the conquest of the mind.
* Our prayers are sure to be fulfilled if they come straight from the heart.
* What you intensely desire you are sure to get. But you have to work; nothing can be acquired without toil and travail.
* For householders, as Chaitanya said, the disciplines to be practiced are KINDNESS TO LIVING BEINGS, SERVICE TO THE DEVOTEES and CHANTING THE NAME OF GOD.
* The wealth of the miserly is squandered in these ways: first, litigation; second, thieves and robbers; third, physicians; fourth, their wicked children's extravagance.
