God cares more for the motive behind the deed, the ideal that prompts the effort, the Bhava, not the Bahya. God says, ‘I care for weight of your thirst for Me, I do not care what form you select for your adoration’. (SSS Vol.5, p. 4)
Do not care for the vagaries of the mind. Carry on Smarana and Dhyanam of the Nama and Rupam you like best, in the manner you are accustomed to; and you will acquire Ekagrata. (DhyV, p. 41)
You must care more for the cleanliness of your mind and intellect than for the external body. Instead of criticising others and finding faults with the actions of others, subject yourself to vigilant scrutiny, understand yourself well, and correct your own faults. Do not be like the dancer who blamed the drummer for her wrong steps. (SSS Vol.4, p. 70)
