Human beings think that they are enjoying the pleasures; but, really speaking, it is the pleasures that are enjoying them. They sap your energies, dry up your discrimination, eat up the allotted years, and worm into the mind, infesting it with egoism, envy, malice, hate, greed and lust. You are born in society, it has helped to guard, guide and foster you, to educate you and to fill you with dreams and ideals. Repay to the society the debt you owe to it.

- Divine Discourse, July 30, 1977.

Virtue alone will bring the Grace of God. - Baba
