Faith that is constant, that never turns aside is twin sister of Saburi. Both are dearer to each other than life itself.  Without Saburi or patience (forbearance), the plight of a man is pitiful. His life is futile even if he is a learned Pundit (scholar) or virtuous man. Without Shraddha (Faith) and Saburi (Patience) his life is futile

Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be.

My Guru was a great saint and highly merciful.

My Guru was a great saint and highly merciful. I fatigued Myself in trying to serve Him and yet He did not utter any mantra in My ear. Instead, He first shaved me clean and then begged of Me two paise. What He wanted was not metallic coin. He did not care even for gold, but only Nishta and Saburi, i. e., faith and courageous patience. I gave these to Him at once and He was pleased.

If a person devotes his entire mind to Me and rests in Me, he need fear nothing for body and soul. If he sees Me and Me alone and listens to talk about Me and is devoted to Me alone, he will reach God (Chaitanya). He who worships Me as Nitya, Suddha and Buddha comes to Me.

Look to Me, I will look to you

Look to Me, I will look to you. Trust in the Guru fully, that is the only Sadhana. The Guru is all the Gods.

Devotee declines to ask.

If a person ever dwells on Me in his mind and will not even taste food before offering it to Me

If a person ever dwells on Me in his mind and will not even taste food before offering it to Me, I am his slave. So also if he hungers and thirsts after Me, and treats all else as unimportant.
