Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.

"Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions - Why am I doing it, What the results might be and Will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, this is the way great spiritual giants are produced.

The saying goes Whether the leaf falls on the thorn or the thorn falls on the leaf, it is the leaf that will tear. Always protect yourself from thorns, move away from persons or situations if you are the person to be affected.

A devotee took a tiny Banyan seed and said to Mother, Look Mother, it is tinier even than the tiniest seed we know. From this will spring a Giant tree! How Strange!. Indeed , it will, Mother replied. See what a tiny seed is the Name of God. From it in time come divine moods, devotion, love and spiritual consummation.

Union in privacy (with one's wife); boldness; storing away useful items; watchfulness; and not easily trusting others; these five things are to be learned from a crow.
