 What you need for spiritual progress are  three things. A heart free from attachment and hatred, a tongue that is not  tainted by untruth, a body not polluted by violence - the one who has these  three is of sacred birth. Without these three, all penances and religious  practices are of no use. You have to pray incessantly for Divine Grace to  confer these qualities. Realize that the Divine is within you. Life is given to  you to realize lasting bliss by the right use of the body, the mind, the  intellect and the inner motivator (God). You have to acquire  the wisdom to lead such a life based in the love of God.

Bagi dia yang memiliki ketiga-tiganya, maka dapat dikatakan bahwa ia telah mengalami kelahiran yang suci. Tanpa ketiga faktor itu, maka semua praktek spiritual menjadi tak ada manfaatnya. Agar dapat memperoleh kualitas-kualitas seperti itu, engkau harus berdoa secara sungguh-sungguh. Sadarilah bahwa Divine terdapat di dalam dirimu. Kehidupan ini telah diberikan kepadamu untuk menyadari bliss abadi melalui pemanfaatan yang benar atas badan fisik, mind, intellect (buddhi) serta inner motivator (Tuhan). Engkau perlu memupuk kebijaksanaan untuk dapat menjalani kehidupan yang dilandasi oleh cinta-kasih terhadap Sang Ilahi.
- Divine Discourse, February 13, 1997.
