Sublimate the love you have for the pleasures of the world, for the objects of the world, into Love for God. Do not waste even a single second, in idle scandal or hollow praise. Bend you head before God, welcoming whatever comes as His will; then, you too can have the Lord as your guide and guard. (SSS Vol.8, p. 13)
Woman is the Grihalakshmi, she is the guardian angel of noble ideals in society. But if women roam around with improper or scanty dress and loose hair, they will only appear like rakshasis or pishachis! It is sheer foolishness to think that such dress and hairstyle are signs of higher education! (SSSm Vol.5, p. 155)
