You visit holy temples and begin every day worshipping God. That is simply sathkarma (good activity).  It won't take you far. Along with this, you must also develop sathguna (virtues), that is, good habits, good attitudes, good characteristics and have good character. Otherwise your life is a chain of pluses and minuses, one cancelling the other out, totaling up to a mere zero. You must become virtuous and realise the Truth, "Thou art That ("Tath thwam asi").  That will make God happy.

- Divine Discourse, March 3, 1965.

Welcome problems and suffering, for they teach you the lessons of reverence and humility. - Baba
