- If there is just a trace of worldliness, you can’t see God. If a match-stick is wet, you may strike it a thousand times and it won’t ignite; you will only waste a pile of matches. The mind attached to the world is like a wet match stick.
- Give your mind to the Being of bliss and consciousness and you will also feel joy. The bliss of God-consciousness is always there, it is only hidden by a veil. The less you are attached to the senses, the more the mind will go towards God.
- You may lecture a thousand times, and you’ll not be able to change worldly men. Can one drive a nail into a stone wall? The nail is what will bend.
