Keep in line with the Divine, by means of Love, Truth and Goodness. Nowadays, there is an inevitable pair of accessories in the vanity bags of ladies and even in the pockets of gents: a mirror and a comb. You dread that your charm is endangered when your hair is in slight disarray, or when your face reveals patches of powder; so, you try to correct the impression immediately. While so concerned about this fast-deteriorating personal charm, how much more concerned should you really be about the dust of envy and hate, the patches of conceit and malice that desecrate your mind and hearts? Have a mirror and a comb for this purpose too! Have the mirror of devotion, to judge whether they are clean, bright and winsome; have the comb of wisdom (earned by discrimination) to control and channelize the feelings and emotions that are scattered wildly in all directions.

- Divine Discourse, June 26, 1969.

The God-centred person has three qualities: Purity, Perseverance and Patience. - Baba
