When you get up in the morning, let your first thought be directed towards God.

We should learn to love everyone equally, because in essence we are all one, one Atman, one soul.

Love is our true essence.

We should fill the syllabuses of schools with lessons about love and compassion.

Parents need to nourish spiritual values in their children from a very young age.

Feel your prayers, feel your mantra and you will feel God.

Children, we cannot control our mind without controlling our desire for taste. The health aspect, not the taste, should be the prime criteria in choosing the food. We cannot relish the blossoming of the heart without foregoing the taste of the tongue.

We human beings are born in ego, live in ego, are brought up in ego and will die in ego. We need a certain degree 0f vision when we live in this world for achieving and attaining our goals in life.

Children, even if we lose a million dollars, we can recover it. If we lose one second, we cannot get it back. Every moment that we are not remembering God is lost to us.

Whatever you see, hear or experience in the world is ephemeral. Get in touch with the eternal substratum of everything.

There are millions and millions of people who are thrown in the midst of poverty and starvation. Animals don’t die of starvation, only human beings.

Just as the right hand comes to dress the wound on the left hand, we should see another person’s sorrows as our own and come to his or her aid.

For a true disciple, the repetition of the mantra is like food.

Real success is gaining the ability to face situations in life with maturity.

Just beneath the surface of all experiences in life is God’s, or the Guru’s, compassionate face.

Try not to have any break in chanting the mantra even for a moment. Continue repeating the mantra while engaged in any task. Chanting in the mind may not always be possible at first, so in the beginning, practice japa by moving the lips incessantly-like a fish drinking water.

In most cases, worldly love ends in hatred and deep sorrow.

First, the human mind should be harmonized, then the harmony of Nature will spontaneously take place.

The guru is not someone who is confined to the body. When there is selfless love for the guru, we will be able to see him not only in his body but in every living and nonliving thing in this world. Learn to see everything as the guru’s body and to serve them accordingly.
