What are the flowers we should try to offer to the Divine in our worship everyday?

Worship the Divine and offer Him the Eight flowers of :-
1. Non-violence
2. Control of your senses
3. Compassion towards all beings
4. Fortitude
5. Inner Peace
6. Austerity
7. Meditation and
8. Truth

Now, when other flowers are used, devotion does not last after you step out of your altar or Prayer room door!

When one crosses that door-step, anger, hatred and anxiety possess you and degrade you.

Without developing the qualities indicated by the eight flowers, how can any one win the grace of Him?

Engaged in the adherence to falsehood on all 364 days, what is the good you hope to get by doing the worship on the 365th day of the year?

As you claim to be devotees, justify your claim by cultivating these flowers of virtue and offering them to the Divine.

- Divine Discourse, Oct 6, 1981.

To get angry is but the effort of a moment; but to get peace, to become unaffected by the
ups and downs of life, is the result of years of Spiritual training.
