It is present in you and is in your own self. Realize this. 46. It does not matter if you live in this world, but do not let the world live in you. 47. Install God in your heart and offer Him the fruits of your good feelings, the tears of joy on the leaf of your sacrificed body.

Implicit faith in the Divine is the road to spiritual success. 50. The Lord loves not the Devotee, but their devotion - this. 51.

Having got this sacred chance of life as a human being (which is very difficult to get) if we conduct ourselves like animals, we will be wasting our lives and not justifying this gift of God. 57.

Try to earn that grace by sincere prayer and devotion with Love. 63. Just as the Mother comes running as soon as she hears her baby cry, similarly, if a person cries to the Lord from the depth of their heart, He will help his devotee wherever they are. 64. God never does things, which do not have good reasons behind them. He never utters words, which have no meaning. Whatever He does, sees and says, carries with it an inner deeper spiritual meaning. 65. You may worship a picture as God, but not God as picture. You can elevate everything to the level of God, but you should not bring God down to the level of a picture. 66. Only God's name can win Him, and only by sincere Love and Devotion one can get round God - not by money or otherwise. 67. To seek peace and happiness from outside us is a great mistake. We should look within ourselves for peace and we can enjoy real happiness if we do so with a clean mind.

Then the immortal light of wisdom, will burn straight and bright. 75. Laziness is equivalent to 'Dust' and 'Rust' whereas selfless active work is like 'Rest' and 'Best'. 76. Haste makes waste. Waste makes worry. So do not be in a hurry. 'Slow and steady' wins the race. 77. One's anger is one's greatest enemy and one's calmness is one's strongest armor. One's Joy is one's best heaven and one's sorrow is one's worst hell. 78. Even the Divine Forms subjects Himself to discipline for elders, and leaders must first practice discipline and then only preach to others.
