“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!”

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.

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.

Education has to cultivate humility and discipline, but today it is yielding a harvest of pride and envy.

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.

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

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.

It’s realizing that a great dream is not as good as a great memory. The dream can be had by anyone. The memory – must be made.

Effort is between you and you.

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

There’s one secret to hitting hard, and that is to completely dedicate your body. That’s the difference between a man going forward and a man going backward, no matter how big he is.

Leadership is anytime you seek to influence the thinking, behavior, or development of others.

Today everything exists to end in a photograph.

I dwell in possibility.

With every door that closes a new one opens.
