4. Do you love praises? The remedy is, descend from your chair and be seated on earth.
5. Avoid to buy a hell in a cheap price.
6. Do not think that the gate of heaven will be open for sure for your sake just because others say that you are pious.
7. To see the difference between you and others, first you have to see that you are equal to others.
8. Bee love to suck the essence of flowers and transform it into honey. Suck all virtue and goodness of others and transform it into Honey for the perfection of your spiritual life.
9. Meditation is not a play of children and not a side hobby. On the contrary, it is an earnest search after the Self.

11. Without map, without guide, your Search will only make you lost your Self..
12. Ask your-self, "am I able not to feel bitter to see others smile?".
13. Ask your-self , "am I able to fold my hand and thank God for the success of others?".
14. Let God be God. Realize that with your limited potency you can not create God.
15. Focus your attention and actions to total self surrender and not on sin or merit you had done.
16. Always keep in mind: the person in front of you by no mean inferior than you, whoever he is and whatever his status is.

18. Whatever you touch, by no mean the Truth, because you are blind.

26. You said you give, what do you have?
27. Try not to search after God on the stage, then only you will find Him.
28. Stop counting, you will get the sum.
29. When you know the breath means you are the Master of your life.
30. Water entered the ear? Take out by water. Prick by thorn? Take out by thorn. Likewise, take out your life by Life.
31. Too much hearing, too much seeing, lessen your chance to feel.
32. Don’t! don’t fly too high. Don’t! don’t dive too deep. Stay here, because you are here.
33. That which is far is near and this which is near is far. The perception of far and near is a momentary creation of your mind.
34. At last, you have to agree: the best for you is simple living (simple life?).
