It is the wind of worldliness that always disturbs the mind. • Perform your duties in an unselfish spirit. Always try to perform your duties without desiring any result. • You may try to increase your income, but in an honest way. The goal of life is not the earning of money, but the service of God. Money is not harmful if it is devoted to the service of God. • One doesn't have to do one's duties after attaining God, nor does one feel like doing them then. • God cannot be seen with these physical eyes. In the course of spiritual discipline one gets a 'love body', endowed with 'love eyes', 'love ears', and so on. One sees God with those 'love eyes'. One hears the voice of God with those 'love ears'. • One sees God alone everywhere when one loves Him with great intensity. • The doubts of the mind will not disappear without His grace. Doubts do not disappear without Self-realization. • Bhakti, love of God, is the essence of all spiritual discipline. Through love one acquires renunciation and discrimination naturally. • There are no doubt six alligators (passions) - lust, anger, avarice, delusion, pride and envy within you, in the 'soul's fathomless depths'. But protect yourself with the turmeric of discrimination and renunciation, and they won't touch you. • It is difficult to teach others. Only if a man gets a command from God, after realizing Him, is he entitled to teach. • God cannot be realized without discrimination and renunciation. • The wife that hampers her husband's spiritual life is an ungodly wife. • If a man has sincere love for God, then all come under his control - the king, wicked persons, and his wife. • There is no hope of salvation for the worldly-minded. But he has nothing to fear if he remains in the world after realizing God. • It is wise to think of God with form at the beginning. • One undoubtedly finds inspiration in a holy place.
