To face different situations in life with presence of mind and mental poise, first we have to train the mind.
We need to focus on our destination. Let the thoughts arising in your mind pass by, like watching scenery through the window of a car. The thoughts cannot affect you if you don't allow them to capture your attention.
Divinity lies dormant in everyone. By trying to awaken the divinity in others, we are, in fact, awakening the divinity within ourselves.
Our efforts to remove hatred and indifference from the world begin by trying to remove them from our own mind.
The tree can't emerge until the outer shell of the seed breaks. Similarly, you cannot know the Truth without totally destroying the ego.
Devotion is not a mental weakness. Neither is it only the first step, but something like the substratum for attaining the goal.
