The temptation to ignore Dharma grows from egoism and the acceptance of false values.  The wish to satisfy the lower desire is the root of unrighteousness.  That wish takes hold of you slyly, silently, like a thief in the night; or like a comrade to come and save you, or like a servant to come to attend on you, or like a counselor to come and warn you.  Oh, wickedness has a thousand tricks to capture your heart.  You must be ever alert against this temptation.  To escape from this, you must examine every moment of your waking time whether you are observing the precepts of Dharma (Righteousness).

-Divine Discourse, Vol 4, Ch 16, Apr 15, 1964.

Practice to see the hand of God in everything that happens.  Then you will never exult or grieve over anything. - Baba
