Sri Papa Ramdas

"Surrender to God as you are. It is not that we must purify ourselves first and then go to Him. He must purify us. We must go to him as a child to its mother. If the child goes to her in a dirty condition, the mother does not turn it away nor does she ask the child to come clean. She herself takes the child and bathes it clean. God is more loving than the earthly mother."

Sri Swami Purushottamãnanda Maharaj of Vasishta Guha

"Bhagavãn is described as full of 'vãtsalya'. 'Vatsala' is the term given to the cow that has just given birth to a calf. The new mother is ferociously protective about its just born calf. None can go anywhere near the new born calf. The mother would rush at the intruder with its head bent to pierce him with her horns! So, too, is Bhagavãn fiercely protective about His devotees."

Shirdi Mahatma

Sri Shirdi Mahatma once declared to Nana Saheb that out of all the six internal enemies it was jealousy that was the easiest to conquer. He then went on to explain it, "In the other passions, there is some question of gain or loss to a man, but when a man is afflicted with jealousy, he is getting no material gain nor avoiding material loss thereby. It is perverse inability to put up with some other man's good fortune. If another obtains something that is due to his previous good works we ought to rejoice it. In any case, he does not gain it at our expense and we do not suffer any loss or disadvantage. So, by dwelling on these matters, jealousy must be easiest to conquer."
