What is good for you is akin to truth; truth is hard: but beneficial. It isunpleasant advice to tell a man to stick to truth at all costs; but, truth alone pays dividends thatsatisfy.(SSS Vol.4, p. 146)

Everybody looks at the world from his own angle. Even thebest of the mangoes tastes astringent when raw. It tastes sour whenhalf-ripe; it is sweet only when totally ripe. The world is like a ripefruit. But it tastes bad as long as we look at it with a worldlyattitude. The nectarine sweetness of the world can be enjoyed onlywhen it is viewed with a Divine attitude. Hence man’s mainendeavour lies in the transformation of his attitudes and mind. Onlya deliberate and sincere effort can yield dividends in this regard.(SSB 1993, p. 34)
