- Whatever you may be doing, if you go forward, you will find something better. If you receive inspiration after reaching a particular stage, don’t think that you have come to the end.
- If a matchstick is dry, strike it just once, and it will light. If it is wet, you may strike it fifty times, but it won’t ignite. Similarly, if your mind is immersed in the liquid of worldly pleasures and is wet with ‘lust and greed,’ inspiration for God-consciousness will not arise.
- Just as you are reminded of your father when seeing his photograph, similarly, by continuously worshiping an image of God, you will have revealed to you in a flash His real nature.
- What good is there in bowing before the shrine of the Samaj? At the sight of a shrine, I’m reminded of Him. I feel divine inspiration. God is present wherever people talk about Him. One feels the presence in all the holy places of pilgrimage. Such places remind one of God.
- One should respect the holy garb. It reminds one of the real thing. Chaitanya Deva put religious robes on a donkey and then bowed to it.
- If you feel a little inspiration, don’t rest content. You must go forward. There is more after the sandalwood trees – there are silver mines and gold mines.
