When Grace touches our hearts, we feel the fragrance of Divine love, the inspiration to serve, and we experience the enthusiasm to progress.

With an unquiet mind, neither exercise, nor diet, nor physique can be of much use. You push hard to reach your goals and when progress is not visible, you push even harder without realising that you have your emotional brakes on.

The wise do not waste their energy in cursing circumstances. They quickly learn the lessons inherent in the situation, and progress rapidly forward on the journey of inner growth.

The sign of true progress is when you have learned the art of being happy in adversity.

Uprooting bad habits that have grown up to become mighty oaks is no child’s play. Even the slightest progress in this direction requires self-control—to resist bad behaviour and act upon the good one.

If we make spiritual progress a topmost priority, we will develop a very positive perspective to life.

The sign of spiritual progress is when we remain calm in the midst of difficulties and agitations around us.

Spiritual wisdom enables us to distinguish the advantageous desires from the unfavourable ones. Progress happens because of beneficial desires.
