From My Spiritual Diary-8:

· Regarding moral conduct, observe these two rules: Be truthful always, and honour and worship all women as mothers. (Swami Brahmananda)

· Attachment or the sense of ownership, in relation to objects or individuals is the root cause of all the bondage in the world.

· Realization of God is impossible without purification of the heart. (Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa)

· The mind becomes pure through ‘japa’. While repeating the mantra, you should remember God. Such repetition and remembrance will do much good. Mere repetition without remembrance will not be any use. (Swami Brahmananda)

· In this transitory world, there are five permanent gems: Company of the Sadhus; Talks about God; Complassion, Humility and Doing good to others. (Saint Tulasidas).

· Compassion is the root of all virtue and happiness, and arrogance is the root of hell or narrowness and misery. Do not leave compassion even when life is about to leave the body. (Saint Tulasidas).

· The moment you thoroughly understand that you are a gool, you begin to become wise. (Swami Akhandananda).

· Useless work, useless talk, gossiping and useless thinking are like weeds. Pull them out. Then there will be time for useful work. (Swami Yaatiswarananda)
