Rare and costly articles might attract us by their external beauty, but to the eye that is illumined by spiritual light, it will appear trivial in value. Physical charm and strength can never overpower spirituality. The passion that breeds egotism can be identified wherever selfishness and pride are displayed. Until this mode of thought and action are suppressed, the quality of goodness will not shine. You must ensure that goodness prevails so as to propitiate, please and win the grace of the Lord.

- Divine Discourse,  Vidya Vahini.

Pure Heart is the essence of all spiritual practices. - Baba
