Motivation is used to bring out the best in people. We get complacent, so bosses, coaches, parents, and motivational speakers are instrumental in pushing our buttons. Even fans in a stadium can motivate the players by cheering. Inspiration is caused by the actions of the one who wants to inspire, by living the teachings. Inspiration brings out hidden, inner strengths. People do not know their own capabilities so, if you inspire them correctly, they can build up their self-confidence and the focus that is in them—the good qualities that are within each and every one of us. The main difference is that motivation can be done with the mind, inspiration comes when the person does it from his or her heart. Teachers motivate, but spiritual Masters inspire. — Satish Daryanani
