Life is like a flight of steps toward the Divine. Your foot is on the first step when you are born; each day is a step that must be climbed. So be steady, watchful and earnest. Do not count the steps ahead or exult over the steps behind. One step at a time, well climbed, is enough success to be satisfied with and to give you encouragement for the next one. Do not slide from the step you have reached. Every step is a victory to be cherished; every day wasted is a defeat to be ashamed of. Slow and steady — let that be your maxim! Adhere to a regular timely routine to repeat the Lord’s Name and meditate. Just as the doctor prescribes a certain fixed quantity of the drug and warns you that anything less is ineffective and anything more is harmful, so too, balance your spiritual exercises. Do not overdo them or do them casually without care.

- Divine Discourse, Mar 17, 1961.

Never get inflated when praised or deflated when blamed. Be a spiritual lion. - Baba

The root cause of all trouble is the uncontrolled, ill-directed mind. Like when the river Godavari is in floods, it rolls along, causing slips and slides, and devastates vast areas on both banks. Discriminatory wisdom (Viveka) and non-attachment (Vairagya) are the two bunds which tame the mad energy of the flood and lead the raging waters into the sea, which is, after all, the destination the waters seek. How can they be implanted? By the first three primary goals of life: righteousness, wealth, and desire-fulfillment (dharma, artha, and kama). The practice of dharma is the art of living. No attempt need be made to run away from the duties of one’s station and status. Remember, those duties have to be done as worship, as offerings of one’s intelligence, skill, qualities, thoughts and feelings to the feet of the Lord in a spirit of thankfulness for the chance given, without a trace of egoism or a sense of attachment to the fruits of the actions.

- Divine Discourse, Apr 23, 1961.

The proper fulfilment of duties is part of the spiritual discipline necessary
for getting enlightenment. - Baba

Practice the attitude of joy when others are joyful and of grief when others around you are aggrieved. Let your heart move in empathy. But the joy and grief have to be translated into service; they should not be mere emotions. It is not by your wearing the same 'bush coat' that all others wear that you should demonstrate the principle of equality; that is very easy. That is external uniformity. How are all equal? All are equal, because they all have the same Divine Consciousness (Chaitanya) within them. When the Sun rises, not all lotuses in the lake bloom; only the grown buds open their petals. The others await their time. It is the same with people. Differences do exist because of un-ripeness, though all fruits have to ripen and fall someday. Every being has to reach the Goal, however slow they walk or however circuitous their road is!

- Divine Discourse, Apr 23, 1961.

Man is able to enquire into, examine and explore the phenomenal universe because
of the consciousness that prods him. - Baba

There was once a dying man who was pestered by a host of relatives. Parents, wife, children, brothers, sisters - all surrounded his bed during his last moments and wailed. They asked him, "What is to happen to us?" The dying man lifted his head a little from the pillow and asked in return, "What is to happen to me? I am really very interested in that problem, than being worried about what will happen to you." Well, it is better everyone asks that question right now and equips themselves with the answer rather than wait until it is too late. "What am I for?" "What ought I to do?" These are the questions you must pursue and arrive at answers. You are all pilgrims, moving along this land of action (Karmakshetra) to the goal - the land of righteousness (Dharmakshetra). Scholars, poets and teachers are guides who help you along; but, the you must tread the road, every inch of it!

- Divine Discourse, Mar 13, 1964.

The realisation of God is the goal and destiny of human life. - Baba

You must be humble, but yet strong to resist temptation. Do not yield like cowards to the sly insinuations of the senses. Your time in this life is to be used not only in the task of collecting information and earning certain skills that will give you an income on which you can live; it must also be used to acquire the art of being content and calm, collected and courageous. Young students must also cultivate an ardent thirst for knowing the truth of the world and of your own self. Your words must be like honey; your hearts must be as soft as butter; your outlook must be like the lamp - illumining, not confusing. Be like the umpire on the football field, watching the game, judging the play according to the rules laid down, and unaffected by success or reverse of this team or that!

- Divine Discourse, Mar 13, 1964.

Surrendering the fruits of your actions to the Lord is real sacrifice. - Baba
