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 most important! Wealth, education, social status - all these are of no avail without character. Character to a person is indeed just like fragrance to a flower... the fragrance gives the flower its value and worth. By conscious efforts, habits can be changed and character refined. Everyone has within their reach, the capacity to challenge their evil propensities and to change their 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.
