Pathram, pushpam, phalam, thoyam (leaf, flower, fruit, water) are all primers for the initial stages (of worship) when children join schools. Clean the mind of all the animal and primitive impulses which has shaped it from birth to birth. Otherwise, just as milk poured into a pot used for keeping buttermilk curdles quickly, all the finer experiences of truth, beauty and goodness will get tarnished beyond recognition. Do not postpone this duty to yourself...Reduce your wants; minimize your desires. Become rich rather in virtue, in the spirit of service, in devotion to the Higher Power.

- Divine Discourse, October 26, 1961.

Removal of immorality is the only way to immortality. - Baba
