"The Earth is the place where the Supreme Lord is worshiped, spiritual initiation (diksha) is the means of purification for the spirit soul, and rendering devotional service to the Supreme Godhead is the process for eradicating all one's karmic reactions." (Srimad Bhagavatam, 12.11.17)

“It is tragic how many otherwise seemingly idealistic people believe that the end justifies the means in forwarding their cause. The end never justifies the means - regardless of what the goal is claimed to be. The ethical content of the means must always be analyzed on its own terms. If the means is unethical, it is to be rejected – regardless of what the purported end goal may be. To disregard ethical conduct and virtue is to morally demean both the person and the very goal itself, and to render both devoid of God's grace, and thus ultimate meaning. Evil only begets the very opposite of Dharma. Only good begets the good. Only Dharma begets Dharma.” - Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya
“The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.” (Bhagavad Gita, 18.61)
"All demeritorious reactions are dissipated by the practice of Yoga. Therefore, resorting to Yoga and performing all Dharmic rites, one should daily perform meditation." (Harita Samhita, 7.3)

“The true sage does not know fear. Moreover, he protects all others from the greatest of fears. When the true sage is present, all other beings run to that person as an invincible shelter in the face of danger. Seek always the banner of such a sage, and let him lead you to victory over darkness.” - Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya
