If you practice meditation deeply, your mind will turn more and more intensely toward God,  

However, you must not neglect your duties in the world. As you learn to perform all your tasks 

with a peaceful mind you will be able to do things more quickly, with greater concentration and 

efficiency. You will then find that no matter what you do, your activities will be permeated with 

the divine consciousness.  

— Paramahansa Yogananda

A pure action is pure throughout. The initial intention toward action is the desire to 

please God. The action itself is done only for God, without attachment to the fruits.  

Then it is offered with love.  

— Ellen Grace O’Brian 

Live up to your full 

potential by concentrating 

only on important matters, 

improving your skills and 

abilities, and living effec-

tively. You are an immortal, 

spiritual being in the world 

to discover the truth about 

yourself and your relation-

ship to the Infinite, cultivate 

and actualize your divine 

qualities, fulfill your higher 

purposes, and nurture 

others and the planet. Live 

like the immortal, spiritual 

being you are.      

— Roy Eugene Davis
