Resolve to be good and loving from this moment. Do your duties gladly and to the satisfaction of your well-wishers. If you feel sorry for the wrongs you did, that itself will please God and He will pardon you. If you endeavour to turn a new leaf and become better, God will shower His Grace on you...Whenever an idea of hurting others or taking some one else's belongings or spreading falsehood about others enters your mind, turn to God for help. Ask Him to give you strength, for all these ideas are born of fear and cowardice, qualities which in turn come from weakness. Repeat the name of God or hum a bhajan, and you will find that all your bad thoughts will flee, leaving you free from evil.

- Divine Discourse, March 19, 1978.

Expand into Universal Love; unshaken equanimity and ever-active virtue. - Baba
