“Our educational system needs to give equal importance to the intellect and the heart.”

Make a firm decision: ‘Whatever happens, I will be happy. I will be strong. God is always with me.’

Education for livelihood alone will never make our life full and complete.

Those that have an attitude of service towards others are the beauty of society.

Our hearts are the shrine; that is where God should be installed. Our good thoughts are the flowers to worship Him. Good deeds form the worship, good words form the hymns and love forms the offering.

The guru is not someone who is confined to the body. When there is selfless love for the guru, we will be able to see him not only in his body but in every living and nonliving thing in this world. Learn to see everything as the guru’s body and to serve them accordingly.

Once you learn the art of relaxation, everything happens spontaneously and effortlessly.

Happiness depends on how you accept, understand and surrender to situations.

Talking high philosophy often confuses people, but a look from an egoless person can lift the clouds of pain and despair.

Children, everyone should try to wake up before five in the morning. The ideal time for spiritual practices like meditation and chanting is Brahma Muhurta. During this period, sattvic qualities are predominant in nature. Moreover, the mind will be clear and body energetic.

Pure love makes you feel as light as a flower. You won’t feel any heaviness or burden. Ego creates the burden.

What we need is peace of mind. We can gain that only through the control of our mind.

Before death overpowers us, we have great things to accomplish by performing right actions.

Thinking that God wants something from us is like showing a candle to the sun.

Just as food and sleep are necessary for the body, spiritual understanding is needed for a healthy mind.

First, the human mind should be harmonized, then the harmony of Nature will spontaneously take place.

Personally I ride a bicycle, travel by train and bus and campaign tirelessly for a car taxation system that will hammer ignorant, selfish, petty, fat, spoilt, stupid car abusers into giving up their addiction and walking.

I personally pledge myself to openly counsel, aid, and abet youth, both black and white, to quarantine any Jim Crow conscription system.

I do think that the banking system is now in the most perilous state we’ve seen in over 70 years.

Political systems are run by self-selecting politicians. We don’t draft people; it’s not jury duty.

Eventually the banking systems of all advanced economies reach magnitudes of 500 percent,

In every truth, the beneficiaries of a system cannot be expected to destroy it.

1000 percent or more of GDP, so that every economy starts to have financial systems that resemble recent cases like Switzerland, Ireland, Iceland, or Cyprus. That might be a very fragile world to live in.

In software systems it is often the early bird that makes the worm.
