sincerity it always contains a spark of divine light which can grow
into a full sun and illuminate the whole being. You can be sure of
my love, you can be sure of my help, and our blessings are always
with you.
CWM 16: 211

In your sadhana what is important is sincerity at every point; if
there is that, mistakes can be rectified and do not so much matter.
If there is any insincerity, that pulls down the sadhana at once. But
whether this constant sincerity is there or there is any falling off
from it at any point, is a thing you must learn to see in yourself; if
there is the earnest and constant will for it, the power to see will
come. Sincerity does not at all depend on satisfying others — it is
an inner matter and lies solely between you and me.
CWM 14: 68

To want what the Divine wants, in all sincerity, is the essential con-
dition for peace and joy in life. Almost all human miseries come
from the fact that men are nearly always convinced that they
know better than the Divine what they need and what life ought
to give them. Most human beings want other human beings to
conform to their expectations and circumstances to conform to
their desires — therefore they suffer and are unhappy.
CWM 16: 433 The Mother

Be honest towards yourself —

(no self-deception).
Be sincere towards the Divine —
(no bargaining in the surrender).
Be straightforward with humanity —

(no pretence and show).
