Pathram, pushpam, phalam, thoyam (leaf, flower, fruit, water) are all primers for the initial stages (of worship) when children join schools. Clean the mind of all the animal and primitive impulses which has shaped it from birth to birth. Otherwise, just as milk poured into a pot used for keeping buttermilk curdles quickly, all the finer experiences of truth, beauty and goodness will get tarnished beyond recognition. Do not postpone this duty to yourself...Reduce your wants; minimize your desires. Become rich rather in virtue, in the spirit of service, in devotion to the Higher Power.
- Divine Discourse, October 26, 1961.
Removal of immorality is the only way to immortality.
A green gourd sinks in water; but a dry one floats. Become dry, rid yourselves of attachments, desires, avoid anxieties, worries. Then you can float unaffected on the waters of change and chance. Even water, when it becomes steam, can rise into the sky. Become light, lose weight, bale out so that you may rise higher and higher. Yoga is defined as chiththa vriththi nirodha--the prevention of impulses that agitate the inner consciousness of man. These impulses add to the ballast. Be free from desires that drag you down; have only the yearning to come face to face with the Truth. That Truth is shining inside you, waiting to be discovered.
