“Education is not acquisition of burdensome information regarding objects and men. It is the awareness of the immortal spirit within, which is the spring of joy, peace and courage.”

The education system today makes and educated person selfish. It makes that person a slave to the senses and as a consequence the person forgets their own divine nature.

Everyone’s God is One.

Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy.

It is essential to practice spiritual disciplines along with academic studies.

You must pass your days in song. Let your whole life be a song.

Unity of minds, natural love and co-operation, are the qualities we have to develop today. Education is not for securing university degrees.

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.

A leader should strive to be an individual of flawless character, technical competence, and moral courage.

True courage is being afraid, and going ahead and doing your job anyhow, that’s what courage is.

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage because we don’t want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.

Courage is found in unlikely places.

Courage is feeling fear, not getting rid of fear, and taking action in the face of fear.

For any marginalized group to change the story that society tells about them takes courage and perseverance.

Strength is crying, stumbling, falling, and yet finding the courage to get up and start yet again.

Repentance and forgiveness both require courage and strength.
