Everyone in this ephemeral and transient world aspires for peace and security. But money, education, position of authority and physical comforts cannot confer peace and security. Peace originates from the heart. You can experience peace and security only when your heart is filled with love. Most people today are bereft of gratitude, which is one of the most essential qualities. They forget the help rendered to them by others. As long as you are alive, you should be grateful for the help you received from others. There are two things you must forget: the help you rendered to others and the harm others have done to you. If you remember the help you rendered, you will always expect something in return. Remembrance of the harm done to you by others generates in you a sense of revenge. Always remember only the help you received from others. The one with these sacred qualities is an ideal human being.

- Divine Discourse, 18 Mar 1999.

Never be ungrateful to those who have been good to you. There is no greater sin than that. – Baba

Every human being has the evil tendencies of kama (lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), etc. in them. The epics teach us to control these real enemies. Hiranyakasipu was a great scientist. He had control over all five elements, but became a victim of his anger. His anger was directed at God and ultimately, he ruined himself. He subjected his son to many trials and tribulations and sought to kill him by throwing him from the hilltop, casting him into the sea, pushing him into a pit of poisonous snakes and making elephants trample on him. Prahlada chanted the name of Narayana ceaselessly, and emerged unscathed and victorious. That is why it is said, Yath bhavam, that bhavathi (As is the feeling, so is the experience). God manifests on the basis of the feelings of the devotee. If you pray to God with purity of heart and love, you will experience Him as such.

Pure heart is the essence of all Sadhana. - Baba

There are three stages of sadhana (spiritual practice). They are concentration, contemplation and meditation. Concentration entails fixing your gaze on one form. Contemplation occurs when you are able to perceive the form within you, even in its absence. Meditation means when, as a result of this exercise, this form is permanently imprinted in your heart. If you continue to meditate in this manner, the form will constantly be fixed in your heart. You should not confine your spiritual practices only to concentration and contemplation. While it is true that these are the first steps in your spiritual practices, you must progress further; you must transform concentration to contemplation, and then contemplation into meditation. When you carry this out, you will continue to visualize the form of God at all times. The ancient rishis (seers) adopted this form of meditation. That is why God manifested before them whenever they wished, talked to them and fulfilled their desires.

- Divine Discourse, Feb 23, 2009.

Whatever you do, whatever you see, whatever you speak, saturate it with Divinity. - Baba

The entire Universe is suffused with Divinity. Since your mind is steeped in Prakruthi (worldly objects) you are not able to see Paramatma (Divine). Just as when you focus your attention at a necklace, you shut your eyes to what it is made of, similarly as long as you look at the world with a materialistic attitude, Divinity shuts itself off from us. Once you gaze at the world with a divine attitude you see only Divinity. Who are the thieves that steal from every human being their peace and joy? They are the thieves of desire, pride, greed, infatuation, anger and jealousy, who rob a man of all his riches. But the worst of all thieves who inflicts the worst damage is matsarya (envy). We must win over our internal enemies and turn our gaze to Divinity who pervades the entire Universe.

Summer Showers in Brindavan 1993, Ch 6.

When the samskaras (spiritual disciplines) lead to the refinement of the spirit, you experience oneness with the Divine. - Baba

Love is God, love is Nature, love is life and love is the true human value. It is on the basis of the principle of love that sages declared: Loka samastha sukhino bhavantu(May the whole world be happy!). Love even the worst of your enemies. Sanctify every day by cultivating sacred thoughts and broad feelings. Today, humanity is stricken with fear and restlessness. Courage and strength are on the decline, because you have unsacred thoughts and wicked feelings. Your enemies are not outside. Your bad thoughts are your worst enemies and thoughts based on Truth are your best friends. You must make Sath, the eternal Truth, as your best friend. Worldly friends and enemies change with passage of time, but God is your true and eternal friend. This friend is always with you, in you, around you, above you, below you and protects you just as the eyelid protects the eye.

- Divine Discourse, 18 Mar 1999.

God alone is totally selfless as friend and benefactor. - Baba

You would have celebrated many Ugadi (New Year day) festivals in your life. Certain traditional practices go with every festival, such as having a sacred bath, wearing new clothes, cleaning the house and decorating it with buntings of green leaves. Greatness lies in purifying our thoughts, not merely the transient human body. The significance of a festival does not lie in wearing new clothes but in cultivating new and noble thoughts. The house should be decorated not merely with the buntings of green leaves, but with buntings of love. Share your love with everyone who visits your house. Only then would we be celebrating the festival in its true spirit. This is the beginning of Nuthana Samvatsara (New Year). Vatsara is another name of God. Time is God.

- Divine Discourse, 18 Mar 1999.

Every living being in this world is knowingly or unknowingly on a spiritual pilgrimage. - Baba
