“I am the slave of those who hunger and thirst after me and treat everything else as unimportant.”

Education must be orientated towards the attainment of character for leading clean simple lives.

The learned man’s life itself shines as the message for mankind.

Life is a song-sing it. Life is a game-play it. Life is a challenge-meet it. Life is a dream-realize it. Life is a sacrifice-offer it. Life is love-enjoy it.

Real education should enable one to utilise the knowledge one has acquired to meet the challenges of life and to make all human beings happy as far as possible.

Education has to endow you with an eagerness to surrender.

College education gives you the chance to earn money and live thereupon. But, umless it destroys certain illusions that are nourished by the common level of mankind, your lives will not be happy.

Education should serve to enlarge the vision and broaden the outlook of the people.

The universe is a great university.

It is only in the depths of silence that the voice of God can be heard.

Science without discrimination Human existence without discipline Friendship without gratitude Music without melody A society without morality and justice Cannot be of benefit to the people.

A house must be built on solid foundations if it is to last. The same principle applies to man, otherwise he too will sink back into the soft ground and becomes swallowed up by the world of illusion.

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.

Whatever creature comes to you, human or otherwise, treat it with consideration.

Humility, reverence, compassion, forbearance, sacrifice and self-control are the qualities that reveal the outcome of the true education.

What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past.

Education must award self-confidence, the courage to depend on one’s own strength.

When I drink, I think; and when I think, I drink.

There are more old drunkards than old physicians.

A little rain beats down a big wind. Long drinking bouts break open the tunder.

I drink eternally. For me it is an eternity of drinking, and a drinking up of eternity.

I drink for the thirst to come.

Breathing, sleeping, drinking, eating, working, dreaming, everything we do is dying. to live, in fact, is to die.

You know you’re going to get it, but it’s going to be rough.

Eating, drinking, sleeping a little laughter ! much weeping! Is that all ? Do not die here like a worm. Wake up! Attain immortal bliss!
