The rule for spiritual life is to be cautious. Start carefully, drive carefully and arrive safely. Be steady; be resolved. Do not commit a fault or take a false step, and then repent! Have the deliberation, the decision, the discipline first; that is better than regret for the mistake made. (CWBSSB, p. 188)

The true ruler considers his people alone as His kith and kin, and treats them alone as his friends. This is the code of Rama. He said that the ruler should give up his own kith and kin when need arises, since his real kith and kin are the subjects over which he is placed. Rama explained this to the people. (RKRV,  p. 494)

You long to receive from others gratitude, love and respect, but when the occasion arises for you to offer these, you hesitate or refuse. This is wrong, for there is no one way traffic! Give and take. That is the rule.(SSS Vol.9, p. 15)

The destruction of the modifications and agitations of the mind is the condition precedent to getting audience with that Ruler. His Durbar Hall has eight doors through which one has to pass for the audience: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. (Dhy. V, p. 26)

Without violating, changing, manipulating or creating any conflict of conscience, rules should be followed. (M, p.8)

In ancient days, there was immense mutual love and regard between the rulers and the people. Today such relations do not exist. The people are wasting their lives to selfish pursuits. The rulers, for their part, are also preoccupied with their own selfish ambitions and desires and are concerned only about achieving or retaining power and positions. Selfishness has grown excessively both among rulers and the public. Unless this process is reversed, man cannot find peace or happiness. There should be control over desires. Peace will grow in proportion to the limitation desires. All man’s worries, difficulties and problems increase with the growth of their desires. Man is the architect of his happiness or misery. Only good actions can produce good results. When the individual is good, the family is good. When the families are good, the society is reformed. When the society improves, the world is transformed. Hence, the transformation must begin with the individual. How can this transformation be brought about? There are two impurities within man that have to cast out – selfishness and conceit. But that is not enough. Pure qualities like love, forbearance and compassion have to be imbibed. Life has to be divinized. (NNSG Vol.2, pp. 41-42)
