Good actions and good thoughts are necessary to achieve realisation of the Atma (spirit). Our body is like a wall clock. It is when a large number of good acts are done by the body, represented by the movements of the second hand in the clock, that the mind, represented by the minute hand,moves once. It is when the mind engages itself in pure thoughts that the Atma (the hour hand) experiences bliss.

-Divine Discourse, 24th May 1991.
