To cultivate devotion to God, always endeavor to mix with good persons, engage yourselves in chanting the Names of the Lord, and be thrilled with the joy that wells up in you.  Why do you waste time or even pollute it by talking ill of others? The eye, the hands, the nose, the head, the stomach, etc. each look different. Each does one special task, and has a different name and function. But they subserve the interest of one body to which they belong; they do not work at cross-purposes, do they? So too, each of you is a limb in the body called society. Do your work without a murmur, work in co-operation with all. Then the society will be healthy and happy.  Love, Love alone can bind you to others and to God. God is the very embodiment of Love.

- Divine Discourse, Jan 28, 1975.

Wisdom grows where humility prevails. - Baba
