He is truly a man to whom
money is only a servant; but, on the other
hand, those who do not know how to make a
proper use of it, hardly deserve to be called
men. |
|
To become great one must be
humble. The tree laden with fruit always bends
low. So if you wish to be great, be lowly and
meek. |
|
Rain water never stands
on high ground, but runs down to the lowest
level. So also the mercy of God remains in
the hearts of the lowly, but drains off from
those of the vain and the proud. |

The ego that asserts, 'I am
the servant of God' is the characteristic of
the true devotee. It is the ego of Vidya (Knowledge),
and is called the 'ripe' ego. |
|
Where in is the strength of a
devotee? He is a child of God, and his devotional
tears are his mightiest weapon. |
|
Look at the anvil of a blacksmith-how
it is hammered and beaten; yet it moves not
from its place. Let men learn patience and
endurance from it. |
|
Visit not miracle-mongers and
those who exhibit occult powers. These men
are stragglers from the path of Truth. |
|
Don't find fault with anyone,
not even with an insect. As you pray to God
for devotion, so also pray that you may not
find fault with anyone. |
|
Purify the spectacles of your
mind and you will see that the world is God. |
|
As the dawn heralds the rising
sun, so sincerity, unselfishness, purity, and
righteousness precede the advent of the Lord. |
|
Every man should
follow his own religion. A Christian should
follow Christianity, and a Mohammedan Mohammedanism.
For the Hindu, the ancient path, the path of
the Aryan Rishis, is the best. |

|
Dispute not. As you rest firmly
in your own faith and opinion, allow others
also equal liberty to stand by their own faith
and opinion. |
|
Let me be condemned to be born
over and over again, even in the form of a
dog, if so I can be of help to a single soul. |
|
I will give up twenty thousand
such bodies to help one man. It is glorious
to help even one man |
