“What is necessary is not EHV, but 3-HV: (Head-Heart-and Hands). The hands should carry out what the heart and approved of the ideas emanated from the head.”

Wisdom flashes like lightening amidst the clouds of the inner sky; one has to foster the flash, and preserve the light. That is the true sign of the ‘educated’ person.

Education today is a process of filling the mind with the contents of books, emptying the contents in the examination hall and returning empty-headed.

What the world needs today is neither a new order, a new education, a new system, a new society nor a new religion. The remedy lies in a mind and a heart filled with holiness.

Education must promote peace, security and happiness.

Education does not mean the imparting of verbal knowledge alone.

Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray.

You are not educated if all you have achieved is the study of ten books.

There is no use if knowledge grows while desires multiply. It makes one a hero in words and a zero in action.

True beauty lies in true education.

Man is lost and is wandering in a jungle where real values have no meaning. Real values can have meaning to man only when he steps on to the spiritual path, a path where negative emotions have no use.

True knowledge is that which establishes harmony and synthesis between ience on the one hand and spirituality and ethics on the other.

Pure love is the chief manifestation of education.

Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very essence of life contained in them.

You must be a lotus, unfolding its petals when the sun rises in the sky, unaffected by the slush where it is born or even the water which sustains it!

No joy can equal the joy of serving others.

Look out into the universe and contemplate the glory of God. Observe the stars, millions of them, twinkling in the night sky, all with a message of unity, part of the very nature of God.

A new heart for a New Year, always!

Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.

I treat my heart like a sick child and gratify its every fancy.

I never wanted but your heart-that gone, you have nothing more to give.

Believe in your heart that you’re meant to live a life full of passion, purpose, magic and miracles.

Surely something resides in this heart that is not perishable – and life is more than a dream.

Sometimes all a person wants is an empathetic ear; all he or she needs is to talk it out. Just offering a listening ear and an understanding heart for his or her suffering can be a big comfort.

In happy ignorance, I sighed for a world I did not know, where I hoped to find every pleasure and enjoyment which my heart could desire; and now, on my return from that wide world, how many disappointed hopes and unsuccessful plans have I brought back!
