"Develop firm faith in the belief that every living being is permeated by God and act accordingly. God lives in every living being. God is installed in the temple of our heart. Only when you cultivate compassion in your heart, it can be called hridaya (heart). Therefore cultivate compassion. Any service you undertake with a compassionate heart becomes sanctified. Consider every human being as a living divinity. God is present everywhere. Forgetting such an omnipresent divinity, we are hankering after petty and trivial bodily pleasures. The fact, however, is that we can never attain real happiness with the body, you can never attain limitless Ananda (bliss)."

"Food and recreational habits are the two main causes of ill-health. Great care has to be bestowed to ensure that injurious tendencies do not affect these two. At present, though drugs have multiplied and hospitals have been established in every nook and corner, ill-health is also widespread. This situation is attributable to the spread of deleterious food habits and pastimes."
