* By being guileless, one can speedily realize God. There are several kinds of people who do not attain divine knowledge. First, a man with a perverse mind; he is not guileless. Second, one who is very fastidious about outer purity; Third, a doubting person.
* The power and potentiality of the mind increases as it progresses in self-purification.
* Quieting down the body and mind is meditation.
* Minimising the bodily requirements is imperative for spiritual advancement. He is a yogi who has reduced his bodily needs to the bare minimum.
* The mind that delights in the mundane, gets entangled.
* Yoga is not possible for him who eats too much or for him who abstains too much from eating; it is not for him, who sleeps too much or too little (Bhagavad Gita).
* If you seek God, then seek Him in man; He manifests Himself more in man than in any other thing. If you see a man endowed with ecstatic love overflowing with prema, mad after God, intoxicated with His love, then know for certain that God has incarnated Himself through that man.
* Words give rise to more words. If, therefore, anybody says something unpleasant or unjust to you, it is better to ignore it and keep quiet. The dumb have no enemies. Try to put up with difficulties as best as you can.
* He who endures, prevails; he who does not, is destroyed.
