You deserve to be called a human being only when you develop good feelings in you. Let your thoughts, words and deeds be suffused with sacred feelings.



You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may earn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk on water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.

The jiva or living being is endowed with ego and his knowledge is limited, whereas Ishwar is without ego and is omniscient.

True realisation of the actual nature of this material world, its perishable, transitory and illusory aspects best dawns on a person in suffering.
