Man – The Triune – 5

Man is a mixture of three ingredients-human element, the brutal instinct, and a ray of the Divine. He has a finite intellect, a perishable body, a little knowledge and a little power.
This makes him distinctly human. Lust, anger and hatred belong to his brutal nature. The reflection of the Cosmic Intelligence is at the back of his intellect. So, he is an image of God. When the brutal instinct dies, when his ignorance is destroyed, when he is able to bear insult and injury, he becomes Divine.

Love – The Supreme Power – 4

Ahimsa is supreme love. It is your Soul-force. Hate melts in the presence of love. The practice of Ahimsa will make you fearless.
He who practices Ahimsa with real faith can move the whole world, can tame wild animals, can win the hearts of all and subdue his enemies. He can do and undo things. The power of Ahimsa is ineffable. Its glory is indescribable and its greatness inscrutable. The force of Ahimsa is infinitely more wonderful and subtle than electricity or magnetism.

Possess Moral Courage – 3

Courage is that quality of mind which enables one to encounter dangers, trials and difficulties with firmness and without fear.
Valor, intrepidity and boldness are synonymous terms. They are positive attributes of the mind. These qualities are very necessary for material and spiritual progress. A coward dies many times before he actually leaves his physical body. Honesty and justice are linked with courage. There are people who can exhibit physical courage but have no moral character. Moral courage comes from within.

Thought-Culture – 2

Your character and future are built entirely by your thoughts and deeds. As you think, so do you become. Noble thinking develops a noble character. This is the immutable law of nature.
Character is power as it is fashioned by Karma. It moulds a person's will. It is the real protection and ornament of a woman.
Change your way of thinking and mental attitude from this very minute. Develop right thought. Have pure Sattwic desires. Thought transformed transforms your life.

Bhagavad Dharma – 1

What is Bhagavat Dharma? That which takes you to God, which enables you to kill your desires, egoism, likes and dislikes, is Dharma. That which frees you from the rounds of births and deaths, which makes you fearless, desireless and '"I"-less, is Bhagavat Dharma. That which fills your heart with devotion to Lord Krishna, which enables you to behold the one Supreme Essence – Lord Krishna – is Bhagavat Dharma. Hold fast to this. Strive ceaselessly to do good to others.

Be Pure – 30

Always bear in mind that the primary condition of success on the spiritual path is an earnest longing for purity. Therefore, be sincere and very earnest in your spiritual practices and strive for purification and sound ethical culture.
Sing the glories and most powerful Names of the Lord. You will be filled with supreme peace, and devotion will dwell in your purified heart. Evil thoughts are as sinful as evil deeds. The path of virtue lies straight before you. Be sufficiently watchful and exert with faith.

See Good in All – 29

The householder should speak truth that is sweet and pleasant; he should not utter an unpleasant truth nor a pleasant lie. This is the eternal virtue.
Even in cases of ungentle dealings, he should always say, "That is good; that is good, good to all.” He should not engage in futile quarrels, nor create enmity with any person. Persons possessing limbs in excess or less, old men, illiterate persons, those devoid of personal beauty and worldly possessions, men of low birth-all these he must not taunt for their unfortunate deformities or privations.

The Morning Duties – 28

Early in the morning a good householder should get up with holy thoughts, chanting the Name of Lord Hari and singing His glories through various hymns and prayers.
He should then evacuate his bowels and wash his legs, hands and face. He should look at the sun and read the daily almanac. He should then take bath in a river or a tank and perform his morning worship and prayers. He should repeat the Gayatri 1,008 times.

Share With All – 27

A householder shall give food to Brahmacharins who do not cook their meals and, after keeping enough for his relatives and dependents, he shall distribute the residue to birds and beasts.
He should shave his hair properly, wear clean clothes and keep himself neat and tidy. Even if extremely tempted, he should not visit his wife during the three forbidden days of her periods, nor share the same bed with her. Intellect, strength, vigor, eyesight and vitality are impaired if a man goes to a woman during her me**es.

Adhere to Dharma – 26

A householder should not earn money by acts which enthrall the senses, nor by means forbidden by the Vedas. It: the event of his not possessing money, he should not try to earn it from any source without due discrimination.
Let him not willfully addict himself to any object of self-gratification. In case of extreme attachment, he should counteract it by means of his patience and will-force.

The Duties of a Householder – 25

It is difficult to live the life of a householder. The householder's life is prescribed for one who cannot control his passion. One without passion should take to the path of renunciation.
A householder should not be exclusively engaged in family affairs, He must perform the sacred duties and have self-control. He should not become a slave of sense enjoyments. He must perform sacrifices to the Rishis, gods, manes and the lower creation.
