Cultivate not riches, or comfort, or luxuries, but Divine virtues. Speak sweetly, shed comfort with every glance of yours. Do not be slaves to your sensual desires. You should conquer lust and vanquish anger. Exile from your mind greed, hate and jealousy. Dedicate your hand to the service of the fellow human beings. To resurrect infinite love and compassion, you must kill jealousy and selfishness, and purify your hearts. Earn the true mercy of the Divine. Follow the path shown by the Lord and reach the position He holds for you.    

- Divine Discourse, December 25, 1979.

Cultivate virtues and become eligible to receive God's Grace. - Baba
