Character The first step in the Sadhana is
the cleansing of the speech. Talk sweet without anger.
The body will shine if the character is fine; service of man and
worship of God will preserve its charm.
Forget the harm that anyone has done to you, and forget the good
that you have done to others. If wealth is lost, nothing is lost.
If health is lost, something is lost.
If character is lost, all is lost.
The minimum qualifications for Grace is surrender of ego.
Don't waste money Don't waste time Don't waste food Don't waste
energy
The less you talk, the more will become your mental power. With
the increase in your mental capacity, there will be increase in
your power of discrimination too.
The end of wisdom is freedom.
The end of culture is perfection.
The end of knowledge is love.
The end of education is character.
When one cultivates the inner look, one attains the conviction of
the basic equality of all.
The joy of being the master of senses is far greater than being
their slave.
Bend the body, mend the senses and end the mind - this is the way
to Immortality
Haste makes waste; Waste makes worry; So do not be in a hurry.
Man minus immorality is Immortality.
You should completely forget the help rendered by you to others
and the harm done to you by others.
If animal feelings are washed out, Divine feelings begin to
overflow instead.
Watch your Words, Action, Thoughts, Character and Heart.
What you would desire others to do for you, you should do for
others. You should respect others as you want to be respected by
them.
Anger, ego, jealousy are the biggest diseases.
Keep yourself aloof from these three diseases.
Anger cannot be destroyed by anger and cruelty by cruelty.
Anger can be subdued only by forbearance and cruelty can be
overcome only by nonviolence.
Anger is like an intoxicant; it reduces man and degrades him to
the level of an animal.
Think before speaking. Think before acting. Then go ahead If you
feel good about it.
Watch Your Words
Watch Your Action
Watch Your Thoughts
Watch Your Thoughts
Watch Your Character
Watch Your Heart
If there is righteousness in the heart, There will be beauty in
the character.
If there is beauty in the character, There will be harmony in the
home.
When there is harmony in the home, There will be order in the
nation.
When there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the
world.
We can be successful leaders only if we are disciplined followers,
who do not issue commands to others but rather set an example of
service in our actions.
You should see that no dirt settles upon the mind; that is to say,
you should move about in such company that dirt is avoided.
Falsehood, injustice, indiscipline, cruelty, hate -- these form
the dirt; Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi, Prema -- these form the clean
elements.
Do not waste a single moment, in idling or loose living.
See good
Hear good
Speak good
Do good
Be good
With good and sweet words, keeping desires under check and control
(for ultimate removal), one should start on the path of sacrifice.
Doing one's duty, however small, in an unattached manner gives
rise to the awakening of self awareness.
Desire destroys devotion, anger destroys wisdom, greed destroys
work - hence these bad qualities must be sacrificed.
If you honor your mother, the Mother of the universe will guard
you against harm.
If you honor your father, the Father of all Beings will guard you.
If you honor your parents, your children will honor you.
The secret of happiness is not doing what one likes to do but in
liking what one has to do.
Bear all and do nothing; Hear all and say nothing; Give all and
take nothing; Serve all and be nothing.
Make your life a rose, that speaks silently in the language of
fragrance.
Greed yields only sorrow; contentment is best.
You are not one person, but three: The one you think you are; The
one others think you are; The one you really are.
The mother is the pillar of the home, of society, of the nation,
and so of humanity itself.
If it is good and will harm no one, go ahead. If it is not good,
put it aside. If not sure, do nothing until sure.
I - Want - Peace "I" is ego. "Want" is desire. Remove ego and
desire and you have peace.
Learn to speak what you feel, and act what you speak.
