1. When you have hatred, jealousy and anger, it is a clear indication that you do not have love. In fact, love will not come anywhere near you if you harbour these evil qualities. When you really have love, then none of these evil qualities will touch you. Therefore, constantly practise, "LOVE ALL, SERVE ALL". Firmly adhere to this principle in your life.
2. Only those who have filled their mind with worldly thoughts talk too much. Therefore, avoid excessive talking. Maintain silence and be quiet. Talk only as much as it is necessary, If you talk more than what is necessary, it amounts to unwanted talk.
3. Do meditation with love. Without love, there can be no mediation. Unify love with truth and righteousness to attain the state of permanent meditation. Then only your love will become permanent. Otherwise, you will have only temporary love, which you will forget sooner or later. Begin your sadhana with the practice of truth and righteousness. Truth is changeless; it is intimately related with Righteousness. When truth and righteousness come together, peace will emerge from them. Love follows peace. When you have love, you will have no hatred.
4. God is eternal and omnipresent, the moment you call Him, that very moment He will manifest before you. This eternal form of divinity is the only truth. There will be no change in divinity at any point of time. You should install this form in your heart which is true, eternal and everlasting. Meditation on any form of God is good. Do not observe any differences between this form and that form be Rama, Krishna, Jesus or Sai Baba. Whatever form you meditate upon, you should permanently install in your heart. It should remain forever and should not change.
5. Sacrifiice is sweeter than enjoyment. Sacrifice should become the aim of our life. Only through sacrifice can one attain peace. Sorrows do not flee from us as long as the mind is not at peace with itself; agonies dwell forever within us. Without the tranquility of the mind, any amount of wealth can not be of any use. Surrendering the fruits of actions with a dispassionate mind is eligible to be termed sacrifice.
6. There are three main enemies of man, namely, lust, anger and greed. Lust destroys devotion; anger destroys knowledge; and greed destroys the good actions of man. They also affect his work, worship and wisdom. When we are overpowered by anger, we lose our sense of discrimination. Anger creates many types of enemities. One who is in the grip of anger will lose his sense of discrimination as to what to speak, when to speak and where to speak. Hence, do not allow anger to come near you. Do not give room to greed at all. There may be cure even for cancer, but not for these.

GOSPEL OF DIVINITY
"Lord, you have told us that by cultivating devotion, that is Love for God, from childhood, we can reach Him, who is the treasure of all Ananda. You have also told us that how much we think we are, and not more, are we and so help us to learn more and more and then become better and better."
"We also know that Sathya, Dharma, Santhi, Prema and Ahimsa are the chief noble qualities that we have to cultivate from our childhood and continue it throughout our lives. Because, Swami has said, Life is a search, explore it; Life is a challenge, meet it; Life is a game, play it; Life is a dream, realise it; and Life is Love, enjoy it."
"So, for this we have to start early, drive slowly and reach safely. But we have to remember, `less luggage more comfort', and we should always remember Love is God and God is Love and so we have to live in Love. If we do so, we will enjoy our lives."
"In order to enjoy life, we must put a ceiling or limit on our desires. We must put a limit on our expenditure of our money. We must not talk too much thus wasting our time and energy. We must not waste food, because food is God, and when time is wasted, it is equal to life being wasted."
"So, we have to remember that one of the best ways to spend time is, by doing good service to others, because doing seva to humanity is doing seva to divinity, that means serving God and helping God's creation is the same thing. When we please man, we please God."
"We have also to do our duty in life with discipline and devotion. For that, we must start the day with love, spend the day with love, fill the day with love, live the day with love and end the day with love and remember love lives by giving and forgiving and self lives by getting and forgetting."
"And when we talk, we must remember to talk soft, talk sweet and talk the truth. We must watch our words, watch our actions, watch our thoughts, watch our character and watch our heart and we must also avoid backbiting, falsehood and harsh words."
"Also we must remember that one must not only do the work one likes, but like the work one has to do. We cannot always oblige but can always speak obligingly. Swami has said, we are all caskets of divine love and so we must share it, spread it and express that love in thoughts of compassion, words of sympathy and acts of service."
"Not only that, we must practice Ahimsa and Brahmacharya. We must cultivate humility, fearlessness and develop a sense of sacrifice and renunciation. Also we should eradicate ego, lust, anger, breed, envy and jealousy and practice selflessness, generosity and tolerance and thus make ourselves better persons."
"For this, what we have to do is to "See Good, Be Good and Do Good, because that is the way to God." The past is beyond recovery. The future is uncertain. The given moment is now and here. So sanctify it with holy thoughts, words and deeds and thus make life a rose that speaks silently in the language of fragrance. Remove desire, attachment, and cultivate patience, fearlessness, control tossing of mind and temper; Love God, Trust God and Surrender to God."
"So, for making us better persons, we must take a dose of Japam and Dhyanam for breakfast; have Satchintanam, Sat sang and Satparana for lunch; do pooja and archana for Tea; consider an hour of bhajan as Dinner; and do Manana, as a cup of milk at bedtime. This diet is enough to make our being happy and healthy."
"And so we pray to our Lord to accept this little garland of pearls. We also pray to our Lord to help us to "Follow the master, Face the devil, Fight to the end, and Finish the game" and when we become big, to be considered by YOU as Your fit instruments to carry out YOUR Message to Your complete satisfaction. Lord! Bless us all for that."
