Human life is undoubtedly the highest in evolution and to give it meaning, spiritual endeavor is essential. The endeavor should be pure and holy, and for this way of life, character is the most important! Without character, wealth, education, social status - all these are of no avail. Character to a person is just like the fragrance to the flower... the fragrance gives the flower its value and worth. By conscious efforts, habits can be changed and character refined. Everyone has within his reach, the capacity to challenge his evil propensities and to change his evil habits. By selfless service, renunciation, devotion and prayer, the old habits that bind can be discarded and new habits which take us along the divine path can be instilled into our lives.
-Divine Discourse, Prema Vahini.
