It is necessary for man to perform good actions constantly in his daily life. As the proverb goes, “If you go on singing, you can sing well; if you go on chewing neem leaves, even they will taste sweet; if you go on rubbing stone, it will become smaller”. The value of a diamond increases after grinding and cutting. Similarly, Divinity shines forth in a person, after passing through trials and tribulations and upon constant practice. Fire is produced when two logs of wood are rubbed against each other. Soft butter comes out by churning of curd. Similarly, man can attain Divinity by constantly thinking of God. It is said, the more you rub the sandal log on stone, the more the fragrance it gives. When you crush the sugarcane hard, it gives only sweet juice. When gold is put on fire, it sheds all its dirt and shines brilliantly. Similarly, a spiritual aspirant should face all problems and difficulties, develop the spirit of renunciation and sacrifice and experience divinity! – Divine Discourse, Apr 26, 1993
