I am really filled with joy when I see people who have engaged in hardy toil and sacrificed their personal comforts in order to make others happy. What the world needs is work done in that spirit. Every one of you has divinity embedded in you, as well as truth and sweetness. Only, you do not know how to manifest that Divinity, how to realise that Truth, how to taste that Sweetness. Courage is the tonic for getting both physical as well as mental health and strength. Give up doubt, hesitation and fear. Do not give any chance for these feelings to strike root in your mind. By means of the inner divine strength with which you are equipped, you can achieve anything; you can even become Madhava (God).

- Divine Discourse, Sep 2 1958.

Man minus desires is God. - Baba
