We should wear clean clothes and not expensive clothes. We should not let it affect us what others think about us. We should self analyse our weaknesses, our mistakes, and how to prevent us from repeating those in future, and plan for a better day. Sadhak must always think about whether their actions will help them progress or pull them back. By Swami Satyanand ji at Sadhana Satsang Hoshiyarpur, 28.12.1948

One should keep themselves always aware of where our desires are headed. We should constantly ensure our mind keeps us on the right path. We should wake up at brahma muhurat. We should put in efforts into our sadhana. By Swami Satyanand ji at Sadhana Satsang Hoshiyarpur, 5.12.1950

We can easily build our character by using help of Ram naam. Good character gives us peace and bliss from inside. By Swami Satyanand ji at Sadhana Satsang Haridwar

Good behavior is not shown through what we eat and what we don't eat. It's shown through what we are from inside. Have calm inside devoid of anger, pride, envy etc. We should win over our pride through service. By Swami Satyanand ji

Not doing anything is not our dharma. Our dharma tells us to do karma. Tyag should be of jealousy, pride, animosity and not of karma. By Swami Satyanand ji

Parmarth - the karma which has the highest meaning - helps us attain Him. Enlighten our atma-shakti through swadhyay, satsang, jap, path, aradhan. Leave meaningless and futile karma. By Swami Satyanand ji at Sadhana Satsang, Hansi, 24.11.1957, 3.30 pm

Even birds and animals feed themselves, as human if we can't just do that. We should use our knowledge to move ahead. We should have strong faith that we are atma, and involve ourselves in bhakti. By Swami Satyanand ji at Sadhana Satsang Hansi, 23.11.1957, 3.30 pm
