“Spirituality, as expounded by the great saints and sages of the past, is a very broad path. It accommodates all types of belief systems. You need to satisfy everyone.”

The greatest tragedy in life is not death; the greatest tragedy takes place when our talents and capabilities are underutilized and allowed to rust while we are living.

We live in a calculative world and have a calculative mind, and in such a world, ego dominates.

Children should observe a regular schedule for sleeping and waking up.

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.

Genuine brokenness pleases God more than pretend spirituality.

I hate how hard spiritual transformation is and how long it takes. I hate thinking about how many people have gone to church for decades and remain joyless or judgmental or bitter or superior.

Adventure, with all its requisite danger and wildness, is a deeply spiritual longing written into the soul of man.

He knows the universe and does not know himself.

The real spiritual progress of the aspirant is measured by the extent to which he achieves inner tranquility.

Humility is not cowardice. Meekness is not weakness. Humility and meekness are indeed spiritual powers.
