Human life today is riddled with many problems. People are confused as to what they should believe and what they should reject, what they should do and what they should eschew. Man has lost the capacity to discriminate between the enduring and the ephemeral. He believes in the unreal and has no belief in that which should be believed. The reason for this is self-interest. It is only when human behaviour is reformed that the world will get transformed. The process of change has to begin in men's minds... The state of the world, good or ill, depends on the behaviour of individuals. There is nothing wrong with the world in itself. It is man's wrong desires which are the cause of his misery. Hence, keep your minds ever pure and unsullied. Keep out rigorously all bad thoughts by reciting the name of the Lord.

- Divine Discourse, June 1st, 1991.

Serve man until you see God in all men. - Baba
