“When attention is given to the spiritual aspect of one’s life, it brings a sense of belongingness, and responsibility, compassion and caring for the whole of humanity.”

Love combined with wisdom is bliss, and that is devotion. Devotion is a strong bond, a sense of belongingness. Everybody is born with it. It’s just like becoming a child again.

Real beauty is when you’re centered, when our mind is with the truth. That is how every baby is beautiful because they are centered.

Dream the impossible. Know that you are born in this world to do something wonderful and unique; don’t let this opportunity pass by. Give yourself the freedom to dream and think big.

Don’t postpone your happiness until some perfect future date. Be happy now, tomorrow will take care of itself.

Devi energy (shakti) is there within all of us. Devi is not somewhere else, not in some other world. It is within us – Devi Shakti

Love is preserved by wisdom. Destroyed by demand, tested by doubt, nourished by longing. It blossoms with faith and grows with gratitude.

Your worries, your feelings, your thoughts arise in your own mind. You are totally responsible for all your feelings – how you feel, what you think, what you do. You are responsible.

All these seven colors are part of one rainbow, yet they are all different. They have their own quality, their own identity, their own flavor to it. So it is a rainbow. The Divine loves diversity, that is why he made us all different.

Even if you win in ego it is a loss. Even if you lose in love it is a victory.

Love is not an emotion. It is your very existence.

For external beauty, you put on things; for real beauty, you have to drop all things. For external beauty you have to have make-up; for real beauty you only have to realize that you are already made up.

Make your smile cheaper and anger expensive!

If we sit deep in meditation, the glow within the body will brighten, and will expand and spread outside. That is Devi Puja.

Even stupid people have a role to play in your life. They make you wiser and more patient.

When heart speaks and heart listens, harmony is produced. When head talks and head listens, argument is produced.

Life teaches you the art of letting go in every event. When you have learnt to let go, you will be joyful and as you start being joyful, more will be given to you.

I don’t like the idea of agents in a typical form. The idea of agents, to me, brings up the idea of a man in a very boring suit who’s not very good looking and doesn’t have much attention to style.

I believe in paying special attention to every project that you do and supporting the projects you do.

As an actor, you people-watch, you observe. And the more famous you become, the sad thing is you lose the ability to do that. Instead of people-watching, you become the focus of attention.

The constant attention is what is so difficult.

Your kids need your love and attention, and being able to devote myself to them is very fulfilling. As I get older, spending time with my daughters makes things much easier. You learn to put your ego aside.

I always do get a little bit paranoid when I get a lot of attention. But I get used to it.

I find something fascinating about the quiet man in the background who has no desire to be the center of attention.

Again, (America is) a stupid country with stupid people who don’t pay attention.
