Scatter the seeds of Love in dreary desert hearts; then, sprouts of Love will make the wastes green with joy, blossoms of Love will make the air flagrant, rivers of Love will murmur along the valleys and every bird, beast and child will sing the song of Love. (SSS Vol. 10)

First, when you sit for meditation, recite a few shlokas on the glow of God, so that the thoughts that are scattered could be collected. Then gradually, while doing japam, draw before the mind s eye the Form which that Name represents. When your mind wanders away from the recital of the Name, take it on to the picture of the Form. When it wanders away from the picture, lead it on to the Name. Let it dwell either on that sweetness or this. Treated thus it can be easily tamed. (SSS Vol.1)

When you scatter seeds on the surface of the soil, they do not germinate. You have to keep them inside the soil. So too, bodha. If it is scattered on the surface, it will not germinate, grow into the tree of knowledge and yield the fruit of wisdom. Plant it in the heart, water the plant with divine love, manure it with Faith and Courage, keep off pests with insecticides of bhajana (group singing of holy names) and satsanga (company of the holy), so that you can benefit in the end. (SSS Vol.4)

A farmer tills his field and scatters over it a bag of paddy seeds. To the ignorant observer this may appear a waste of precious grain. But the farmer knows that in due course he will reap a harvest of hundred bags of paddy. Likewise the offering of ghee and other precious things in the yajna with mantras will result in countless benefits in good time. People may notice only what is being offered. But they have no idea of the benefits that will follow. (SSS Vol.22)

Just as the various facets of diamonds all scatter light and throw brilliance in all directions, so also the greatness of Krishna was scattered in all directions. As we cut the diamond and polish the facets, the value of the diamond goes on increasing. (SSB 1976, p. 135)
