In this world, there is no penance higher than fortitude, no happiness greater than contentment, no blessing holier than mercy and no weapon more effective than patience. Devotees should consider the body as a field, the good deeds as seeds and cultivate the Name of the Lord. Take the help of the Heart as the farmer in order to get the harvest - which is the Lord Himself. Like cream in the milk, fire in the fuel, the Lord is in everything. Have full faith in this.
- Prema Vahini, Chapter 'The Harvest of a Sadhaka'.
