Shraddha, or devotion, is awakened remembrance of the divine within the heart of the devotee. It causes the mind to search for God in all things as a mother remembers or knows her child in her heart and naturally turns to look for her child everywhere she goes.

The need to always be right is a refusal to grow. Being able to admit our mistakes allows us to correct more than the error. It opens the door to repentance and the improvement of character that can result.

Anger is thwarted desire--not getting what we want when we want it. To work with anger one must look to the underlying desire and then work to release the desire.

A useful spiritual practice for removing negative traits is to cultivate the opposite. It is not enough to want to remove greed or hatred from the mind. One must cultivate generosity and love in order to be transformed.
