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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Happiness is within everyone, but we are not able to experience it because of our ego’s likes and dislikes.

Any action done with the right attitude, understanding and discrimination will take you closer to liberation. If however, the same action is done without the right attitude, it will bind you.

Fundamentally, what everyone needs is mental strength and confidence, to manage the mind, just as we manage the outside world.

The beauty and charm of selfless love and service should not die away from the face of this earth. The world should know that a life of dedication is possible, that a life inspired by love and service to humanity is possible.
