“Hanuman not only gives liberation, he also fulfills our beneficial desires.”

It takes two to tango! I need everybody to sing with me.

I knew that if I did not start chanting with people, that I would never be able to clean out the dark corners of my own heart. I knew it with every cell in my body and mind.

When you fall in love, nobody has to tell you. You know what you feel.

The heart is like a mirror. When we dust it off, we are able to see ourselves. The dust is all our stuff – guilt, anger – this stuff is reflected back to us. Practice removes the dust from the mirror of our hearts.

It’s inexplicable why somebody can lose a leg and it doesn’t effect them at all emotionally; and another person can lose a foot and be destroyed for the rest of their lives.

Don’t wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.

Surrender happens by Grace. All we’re doing is cleaning up the room so when Surrender walks in, He can sit down.

Don’t give up on your dreams. You can become the person you know you really are.

Bliss is easy, just take a drug. What is hard is feeling good about our real selves.

Even if somebody tells us something, the hit, the light goes on inside of us, not out there. We learn and understand everything within ourselves.

I chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that’s what I’m doing.

Let’s just chant and be good people, alright?

We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.

Ultimately when I am with you all, what I see is my Guru. And what is he? He is love.

To love somebody is to let them be who they are and do what they have to do.

Compassion is a college education. It’s a doctorate.

The illusion that you could hold to yourself the things you most want and lose the things you least wanted to keep is the struggle of life.

A person might be an expert in any field of knowledge or a master of many material skills and accomplishments. But without inner cleanliness his brain is a desert waste.

Goods can serve many other purposes besides purchasing money, but money can serve no other purpose besides purchasing goods.

Men lose all the material things they leave behind them in this world, but they carry with them the reward of their charity and the alms they give. For these, they will receive from the Lord the reward and recompense they deserve.

A nation is not made wealthy by the childish accumulation of shiny metals, but it enriched by the economic prosperity of it’s people.

Wherever there is great property, there is great inequality.

The older I get, the less I care for superficial joys and cheap displays of nothingness. If it’s not meaningful and of substance, I don’t want it.

I think when you know what you are going to wear, it fits and it’s great material, then you feel confident in it.
