“Gratitude is pure happiness. Happiness is sure perfection.”

Peace is our inner wealth. This inner wealth we can bring to the fore only when we expect nothing from the outer world and everything from the Supreme Pilot within us, at God’s Choice Hour.

There is no greater miracle than our conscious efforts to become good human beings.

A spiritually established life is not an easy task. But a materially satisfied life is an impossible task.

The inner light actually comes from the soul; it is already inside us. The moment we can have free access to our soul, we will see that this light is coming to the fore to permeate our whole outer existence.

If failure has the strength to turn your life into bitterness itself, then patience has the strength to turn your life into the sweetest joy. Do not surrender to fate after a single failure. Failure, at most, precedes success.

When we meditate, what we actually do is enter into the deeper part of our being. At that time, we are able to bring to the fore the wealth that we have deep within us.

If you do the right thing, eventually you will inspire others to do the right thing.

Meditation is the language of God. If we want to know what God’s Will is in our life, if we want God to guide us, mould us and fulfil Himself in and through us, then meditation is the language that we must use.

Peace begins When expectation ends.

A moment’s truth can and shall make the world beautiful. A moment’s peace can and shall save the world. A moment’s love can and shall make the world perfect.

When we listen to the Inner Voice, our outer life becomes full of peace.

Your mind has a flood of questions. There is but one teacher Who can answer them. Who is that teacher? Your silence-loving heart.

If you want to simplify your life, meditation is the answer. If you want to fulfil your life, meditation is the answer. If you want to have joy and offer joy to the world at large, then meditation is the only answer.

The difficulty is that we try to perfect others before we perfect ourselves.

Listen to the inner light; It will guide you. Listen to the inner Peace; It will feed you. Listen to the inner Love; It will transform you, It will divinise you, It will immortalise you.

When we transcend ourselves, we do not compete with others. We do not compete with the rest of the world, but at every moment we compete with ourselves.

Gratitude is really, really attractive. A child who is genuinely grateful makes you want to do anything for her, and that is true of adults as well.

I should be grateful for the tough times because Allah chose me, thought I was good enough to go through it.

The dominant characteristic of an authentic spiritual life is the gratitude that flows from trust — not only for all the gifts that I receive from God, but gratitude for all the suffering. Because in that purifying experience, suffering has often been the shortest path to intimacy with God.

This day of your life will never come again.

Of course, of course I’m grateful. How can I not be grateful? I have been afforded such a wonderful life.

The universe sent you to me and for that I kneel in gratitude.

“The most amazing thing isn’t that I’ve helped people or that I’ve saved lives, I hear that all the time. I still doubt that, but the most amazing thing is that you guys saved me.”

When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?
