Madness

An unambitious man is a curse to the society. Every man must become mad after something and then only he can achieve something that may be divine or mundane. The object may be small or big, but one must strive to achieve it and go ahead. Choice of the object is essential for this madness and it is such mad men only that have brought about all-round progress in the world.

Tenderness

Tenderness towards all things that live, freedom from the desire to find fault with the praiseworthy, forgiveness, fortitude, and respect for friends – these, the wise say, bestow long life.

Look at Your Mind

Look at your mind dispassionately: this is enough to calm it. Only when it is quiet can you go beyond it. Do not keep the mind busy all the time, stop it and must be. If you give it a rest, it will settle down and recover its purity and strength.

Peace

Peace is not in the heart of the carnal man. Peace is in the heart of a desireless man, who has controlled his senses and the mind. Greed, lust, jealousy, envy, anger, pride and egoism are the enemies of peace. Slay these enemies by the sword of dispassion, discrimination, and non-attachment. You will enjoy perpetual peace.

Creator

There is no help for you outside of yourself; you are the creator of the Universe. Like the silkworm, you have built a cocoon around yourself…… Burst your own cocoon and come out as the beautiful butterfly, as the free Soul. Then alone you will see Truth.
In one word, this ideal is that you are divine. God sits in the temple of every human body.
