Righteousness is where compassion is, sin is where there is lust and greed. Yama, the God of death is where anger is. God is where forgiveness is.

Sant Kabir
Remembrance of the Holy Name is the sum and substance of life, all other are simply thorny thoughts which trap one in different entanglements from the beginning to the end.

"NA TADBHASAYATE SURYO NA SHASHANKO NA PAWAKAH.
YADGATWA NA NIVARTANTE TADDHAM PARAMAM MAMA."
My heavenly abode is such that even if thousands of suns rise together in the sky, the cannot equal My Divine Light, because that power is coming out of the almighty and once a person reaches there, he does not return in the cycle of birth and death.

"RAM BHAKTI CHINTAMANI SUNDAR,
BASAI GARUD JAKE UR ANDAR.
PARAM PRAKASH ROOP DIN RATI.
NAHI CHAHIYE KACHHU DIYA GHRIT BATI."
Devotion to God is as beautiful as the crest jewel and the heart within which it resides, is illuminated. The divine Light shines day and night and doesn't need lamp, ghee or wick.

"MUKTAFALAI KIM PAKSHEENAM CHA.
MISHTAN PANAM KIM GARDABHANAM.
ANDHESHU DEEPO BADHIRESHU GANAM.
MURKHESHU KAH KATHA PRASANGA."
What is the point of placing a light in front of a blind person? If music is played to a deaf person then he will not enjoy it. He cannot taste the clarity and melody of the music. A donkey cannot relish sweets, but prefers mere grass. Similarly, devotees and the wise understand the importance of satsang. They keep the teachings in their hearts and benefit from them, but a foolish man denies himself the benefit of these things.

Sahjo Bai
There is no room for mind in a person who is in love with God. He is totally contented, and sees Him everywhere he goes. The words of a lover of God are sweet. Sometimes he feels like laughing, and sometime like crying. It just happens, for no reason. I care naught for caste or appearance. Even through everyone may scorn me and call me crazy. Love is fathomless, peerless and eternal. To express it is impossible. Without Divine Love in your heart your beauty, wealth and even your life have no meaning. Without purity of desire, your live is worthless. Everywhere you will find plenty of people who want riches and happiness, but hardly one who wants Divine Love, only some who is ready to cut off his head and stamp on it may enter into the City of Love.

The Importance of Sadhana
Sadhana (spiritual practice) leads to peace, happiness, prosperity and immortality. Purity of heart is to be attained through meditation, prayer, japa, kirtan, study of sacred scriptures and selfless service to humanity. Collective sadhana, group prayers and kirtan (singing devotional songs) have a tremendous elevating effect. Sadhana is a means to attain the goal of life. This means spiritual practice that helps the aspirant to realize God. One should do sadhana to attain the state of final beatitude. Only those aspirants whose minds are purified by vigorous service and sadhana will be benefited by a life of solitude. Constant remembrance of the Lord is the actual sadhana for God realization. Life is short; time is fleeting, apply yourself diligently to sadhana. In sadhana you should always aim higher and higher and aspire for higher and higher grades of spiritual attainments. Before you commence your daily sadhana, your must first invoke Guru's blessings. Then all your efforts will be crowned with success. Sadhana without viragya will have no effect.
