“A spiritual life means: It is now or never.”

Be kind, be all sympathy, for each and every human being is forced to fight against himself.

Let us serve the world soulfully. The pay we will receive for our service will be in the currency of gratitude, God’s gratitude, God the only gratitude.

Gratitude is not a mere word; it is not a mere concept. It is the living breath of your real existence on earth.

If we live in our oneness-heart, we will feel the essence of all religions which is the love of God. Forgiveness, compassion, tolerance, brotherhood and the feeling of oneness are the signs of a true religion.

Friendship must never be buried under the weight of misunderstanding.

The greatest misfortune that can come to a human being is to lose his inner peace. No outer force can rob him of it. It is his own thoughts, his own actions, that rob him of it.

Just one smile Immensely increases the beauty Of the universe.

Gratitude is pure happiness. Happiness is sure perfection.

Wrong thoughts are inside us just because we identify ourselves with these thoughts. If we identify with something else, immediately they have to leave us.

Not by blaming the world, not by shunning the world, but only be loving the world can I have peace of mind.

There comes a time in the seeker’s life when he discovers that he is at once the lover and the beloved. The aspiring soul which he embodies is the lover in him. And the transcendental Self which he reveals from within is his Beloved.

Try not to change the world. You will fail. Try to love the world. The world is changed. Changed forever.

Fear is bound to disappear when you realize that failure is not something shameful, damaging, destructive, or painful, but something natural.

If we call ourselves children of God, then others are also children of God.

I did not come into the world to prove anything. I came into the world to love everyone and everything.

I begin by imagining the impossible and end by accomplishing the impossible.

The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.

Work is the keystone of a perfect life. Work and trust in God.

Oh God, to think that you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought.

I wish my school days could have dragged on a little longer, or that I could go back and do it later in life.

I don’t personally look to my own life experiences for answers about how to play a scene.

I pray to give thanks and to recognize all the good things that are in my life even during times of great change, confusion, or frustration.

I believe I experience creativity at every moment of my life.

I’ve had some painful experiences in my life, but I feel like I’m trivializing them by using them for a scene in a movie. I don’t want to do that. It just makes me feel kind of dirty for having done that.
