• To define God is to defile God.

• Temper takes you to Trouble, Pride keeps you there.

• Mind can make a hell of heaven or a heaven of hell.

• Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket.

• Sin is never in action, it is always in reaction.

• The spirit of Advaita is not to keep away from anything, but to keep in tune with everything.
