meditating upon them in silence.

Do not worry about the harsh criticism of the world, listen to your
inner voice and act accordingly.

to do more.

Set your own goals so that one day you can reach there; if you rely
on someone to help you; then you will meet disappointment only.

Think everyday as a new life and use it wisely.

has to incur sin oneself.

If man begins to reform himself, he can reform the world very well.

Our own duty is the dearest, most intimate and most useful thing in
the world.

Live your life smiling and laughing like flowers.

Much sin prevails in the world. But is there any lack of virtue either?
Why should we not engage our emotions in good thoughts rather
than sin, hatred & evil?

righteous path.

Mind is not made of stone or glass, which cannot be changed. Mind

It is impossible to advance towards achievement of ideals like unity,
affinity, equality and affection without destroying the walls of
differences.

Do not let mind wander aimlessly, it leads to failure & downfall.

Rise high, awaken the sleeping ones, follow the great & advance
further.

To deceive others is to deceive oneself. The inner self recognizes this

downfall and constantly rebukes us.

Our mind is a fertile field. You can produce what ever you like by
doing right. Use it properly- As you sow, so you reap.

A sweet speaking lady makes family like heaven. She who speaks
harshly, makes it a hell.

Your positive thoughts have a unique power of new creation. Man's

quick progress takes the direction of his colour, shape, quality &
direction, of his predilections respectively.

the routes of your personality and will preach love, tolerance and
good will in the world.

not behave in accordance with your nature?

character is lost, everything is lost.

Make your thoughts sublime and auspicious. Refine & purify them.
They will take you to the supreme bliss of heaven.

One who gives a practical shape to his inner virtues, achieves

ultimate victory.

Do not remain aloof or you will remain weak. Jute flakes twisted
together make a rope which can tether an elephant.

Whenever we think of ourselves, we should take ourselves healthy &

handsome. We should never hear and see that which diminishes our
pride, respect and importance.

The follower of truth has the strength of a thousand elephants.

The least expensive, most useful and pleasing recreation is the

study of literature on truth.

The test of anybody's greatness is what he thinks and does for one
who is lower than him.

May Almighty illuminate our intellect and inspire us towards the

righteous path.

The only test of the development of intellect is whether one has

started controlling uncontrolled desires.

Adopt the qualities of those whom you praise and beworthy of

praise yourself.

Do not listen what people say, only see whether you have been able
to do what is worth doing.
Do not jeer at any handicapped person, an orphan or an afflicted
person. Who knows when your fate may jeer at you?

He who speaks too much and pretends to show his knowledge is not
wise. Wise is he who integrates his conduct with his knowledge.

Failure in a test lies in misusing powers and doing injustice whereas

success in test lies in sticking to your duty in face of numerous
afflictions and difficulties.

There is no fire like anxiety, there is no poison like hatred, there is

no thorn like anger, and there is no net like greed.

Do not look for others’ defects and evils. Look towards yourself also.

reform themselves.

Do not declare anybody a criminal on the basis of guess or a doubt.

Give a chance to him to prove his innocence who is spotted of guilt.
Do not blame anybody before knowing self-facts.

Protect your good name rather than wealth, your becoming wrecked
and falling in the eyes of other people.

Do not worry if health, glory, clearness, diminish. The cause of

worry is any one namely absence of a feeling of self-respect and
diminution of spiritual power.

A lamp does not speak, it introduces itself through its light. Do not
indulge in too much self praise. Give a chance to people to judge
yourself purely through your actions.

Prosperity creates many friends but a friend in need is a friend

indeed.

The aim of life is inner purification, courage and doing well to

others. The one who sticks to them does not go astray.

May Almighty illuminate our intellect and inspire us towards the

righteous path.
He who has presented an example of his honesty and truthfulness,
has done a great deed of teaching the world.

Virtue consists in love, affection and doing well to others in the

world.

Have good intentions, so that it may be possible to follow the good

path.

Those who are engaged in God's work, are never losers.

True heroes are those who can fight their weaknesses and refuse to
accept undesirability.

Man's behaviour is the mirror which truly reflects his personality.

If God gives pain to somebody, it is only for a good purpose.

Knowing the character of anybody, it does not remain difficult to

know who are his friends.

Practical and behavioural instruction is more effective than (verbal)

oral and written teaching.

Man falls down a thousand times. He should try to get-up, rise a

thousand times, every time higher than from where he had fallen.

If you want to become great, first be small. It is not possible to

raise a high structure without a deep foundation.

If you can't do good to and serve anybody, at least do not do evil to

anybody.

He who has given up artificiality, deception, and cunningness and

has adopted honesty as the policy of his life, is the wisest man of
the world.
Imbibing virtue springs from the heart whereas flattery springs from
the teeth only. Imbibing virtue is unselfish whereas flattery is
selfish.

Do not be so harsh that you may lose your feeling of mercy, nor be
so simple as to fall a victim to the wicked people.

God has himself given eyes, ears, hands, feet and nostrils in pairs,
but tongue is only one. Therefore, speak less and do more.

May Almighty illuminate our intellect and inspire us towards the

righteous path.

One can stay in hell as if in heaven with a good book.

Do not expect the circumstances to be always favourable. This world

has not been created for you alone.

He who wants to deceive others, actually deceives himself only.

Do not do good with a business like motive. It gives satisfaction

only if done as a duty. Good done with the hope of getting good in
return can give disappointment and vexation.

A conscience is a guide who cannot remain without inflicting

punishment for misdeeds. But it has given warning for avoiding
misdeed number of times.

Keep smiling always in all conditions. Be fearless and free from

anxiety. Go on doing your duties and be happy.

He alone is the true follower of the path of self-realization who

thinks that he should do something to serve others.

A smiling face is a kind of flower, seeing which the mind of

spectators is automatically attracted towards it.

A lie is ultimately a lie, it will be exposed tomorrow, if not today.

When falsehood is exposed, it completely destroys man's respect.
Every responsibility lies on soul and man. Do not ignore it, look
towards your duty. Do only those things which do not tarnish man's
greatness.

Every condition of life is auspicious and pleasant for us. Make an

effort to keep yourself always happy by adjusting yourself to
circumstances.

Don't be a dreamer, but be a doer.

May Almighty illuminate our intellect and inspire us towards the

righteous path.
