Any line of behavior that fails to quicken the divine in man should be eschewed, no matter how enticing it might appear; but any that helps to awaken man’s inherent divinity must be resolutely adopted, even though it be seemingly uninviting. Man’s calling is to aspire to the realization of Truth, to tread the excellent path that leads to immortality.
–Sri Anandamayi Ma, quoted in Swami Mangalananda, A Goddess among Us: The Divine Life of Anandamayi Ma
