You may ask: "How am I to declare, Aham Brahmasmi (I am Divine)?” Yes, you can
do so. But, first understand the Aham, the ‘I’, the Divine Principle.
Scriptures declare - Ekam Eva adhvitheyam Brahma - The Absolute is One without
a second. Though people worship the Absolute with different names and forms,
the Supreme Reality is only one. Just as the same person is called in different
names by different people at different times, God has many names and forms -
all these are creations of the human mind. Scriptures emphatically declare that
the Lord is the nameless and attributeless Eternal Reality. Understand properly
the true and Divine nature of the Aham ('I'). The ‘I’ is the master of your
body, senses and the intellect, and is the power that permeates the entire
cosmos. - Prema Vahini, Ch 59.
True devotion really means installing the Divine in the heart and enjoying the
bliss of that experience. - BABA

Avoid unnecessary and excessive association with all and sundry. People visit
Puttaparthi from America, Japan, Germany, Russia, and so on leaving their
parents and kith and kin. Why then should you cultivate new relationships? Keep
your association with... anyone to the barest minimum. Keep your mind pure.
There is no need to indulge in chatter. Talk less, think or work more.
Cultivate this habit. Unnecessary association with strangers may have
undesirable consequences. To join bad company and come to grief is a
self-wrought calamity. Genuine spiritual aspirants should be particularly
careful in eschewing bad company. They should create an environment conducive
to their spiritual progress and mental peace. That is the only thing Swami
wants. Do not waste time. Do not give room for useless thoughts.
- Divine Discourse, 23 Nov 1997.
True devotees of God should not attach any importance to differences of
religion, nationality, caste or sect. - BABA.

People crave worldly happiness; this craving itself is the disease, and
sufferings are but the drugs we take. In the midst of these, one rarely
entertains the desire to attain the Lord. However, it is necessary to analyse
and discriminate, for the spirit of renunciation is born out of such analysis.
Without enquiry, detachment cannot be obtained. Miserliness is like the
behavior of a dog; it must be transformed. Anger is the first enemy of a
spiritual aspirant. Untruth is even worse - it destroys all the vital powers.
Theft ruins life; it makes the priceless human life cheaper than rotten food.
Moderate food, moderate sleep, selfless love, and fortitude will help in the
upkeep of the health of both your body and the mind. Whoever you are, in
whatever condition you may be, do not give room for dispiritedness! Be fearless
and remember the Lord with unshaken faith and without any ulterior motive, all
suffering and sorrow will fall away. - Prema Vahini, Ch 61.
All pleasures derived from submission to the senses are momentary and leave a
trail of suffering behind.-BABA.

I want you to exercise control over five vital things in life. (1) ‘Do not
waste money.’ Realize that misuse of money is evil. If you wish to keep a photo
of Bhagawan, have only one. Why waste your money on buying too many? (2) ‘Do
not waste food.’ Realize that ‘Food is ...God.’ (3) ‘Do not waste Time.’ Time
is God. Time wasted is life wasted. (4) ‘Do not waste energy.’ Understand that
when you see, speak, hear, act or think energy is expended. In all these
activities do not waste your energies unnecessarily. (5) ‘Do not forget God’,
at any moment whatever you may be doing. God is present wherever you may go. He
is with you, beside you and around you always. Hence there is no need for you
to go to some temple to pray to God. Your heart is your temple. Turn your
vision inward and understand the Atmic Principle. - Divine Discourse, 23 Nov
1997.
Control your desires. Do not waste money, time, food and energy. -BABA
<http://www.ssso.net/pnews-2015/SI030715.jpg>
In this world, there is no penance higher than fortitude, no happiness greater
than contentment, no good deed holier than mercy, and no weapon more effective
than patience. Devotees should consider the body as the field and good deeds as
seeds. Then with the help of the heart as t...he farmer, cultivate the name of
the Lord to reap the harvest - the Lord Himself. Like cream in milk and fire in
fuel, the Lord is in everything. Have full faith in this. As is the milk, so is
the cream; so also, as is the spiritual discipline, so is the direct experience
(sakshatkara) of the Lord! As a consequence of taking up the Lord’s name, four
distinct fruits will be experienced by sincere seekers. They are: company of
the noble, truth, contentment and control of the senses. Through whichever of
these gates one enters, whether one is a householder, recluse, or a member of
any other class, one can reach the Lord without fail. This is certain. -
Prema Vahini, Ch 60.
Fortitude endows you with self-confidence. Self-confidence generates an immense
internal power.-BABA.
