The mind is like the sun, shining on all alike yet asking nothing in return. So give! Give! Give! You get the most by giving the most. Conversely, by receiving a lot you impoverish yourself. When you give, you gain immortality. When you give, you are merged with the Universal One.

The power of any mantra comes from leading a life that embodies that mantra. Mantras are not meant for mechanical repetition. The idea is to feel and experience them in every moment that you live. True sadhana lies in living the truth of the mantra at all times.
==========
The only practical way to fulfill a desire is to be a devotee and pray with earnestness to Devi. Then leave it up to her wisdom and compassion to do what is best.
==========
What we see, when we see Devi in front of us, is nothing but our own projected inner self. If she or her desire frightens us, then we must look within ourselves to see why she is being so demanding. Could it be because we ourselves are being demanding?
==========
If we truly want a desire to be fulfilled, we must identify completely with Devi and then—in our capacity as Devi—command that our wish be granted. Why does this approach work best? Because when we identify with Devi, the problem of desires to be filled ceases to exist entirely. And where is the question of fear when you and Devi are identical?
==========
Everything is already perfect, exactly as it is happening.

Magic is everywhere around you, even in the most usual, most ordinary situations. Your task is to understand this magic and help other people use it, too. You are a magician!
