“People think that God wants our offerings. God does not need anything from us. He is the giver. He is like the sun – the giver of light.”

Real life is developed from within. Real living means that the soul expresses itself through all one’s thoughts, words and actions. A person becomes fearless once he understands the nature of the imperishable soul.

Our compassion and acts of selflessness take us to the deeper truths.

The change will only happen outside once we change within ourselves.

Crying to God for five minutes is equal to one hour of meditation.

Lessen the quantity of unnecessary thoughts and allow more space for the energy of love to flow within you.

Look carefully at what is of value in others and respect that.

Love one another without any expectations. Then, there is no need to go anywhere in search of heaven.

It is man who, through his thoughts and actions, creates turmoil and disintegration in the natural, harmonious unity of the world.

Our highest, most important duty in this world is to help our fellow beings.

Loving words and deeds are the best alms.

The beauty and charm of selfless love and service should not die away from the face of this earth. The world should know that a life of dedication is possible, that a life inspired by love and service to humanity is possible.

Don’t go empty handed when going to a temple or to see a spiritual master. Offer something as a symbol of surrender, even if it be a mere flower.

Our efforts to remove hatred and indifference from the world begin by trying to remove them from our own mind.

The first step in spiritual life is to have compassion. A person who is kind and loving never needs to go searching for God. God rushes toward any heart that beats with compassion-it is God’s favorite place.

Today, our air, food, water-all are polluted. If we do not stop exploiting nature for our temporary selfish gains, we will destroy the world.

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.

The wise ones bet heavily when the world offers them that opportunity. They bet big when they have the odds. And the rest of the time, they don’t. It’s just that simple.

I prefer to be accused unjustly, for then I have nothing to reproach myself with, and joyfully offer this to the good Lord. Then I humble myself at the thought that I am indeed capable of doing the thing of which I have been accused.

For one who has made thanksgiving the habit of his life, the morning prayer will be, ‘Lord, what will you give me today to offer back to you?’

Spiritual practice is the capacity to offer your love even when you feel hurt, closed down, tense, angry, misunderstood, or hated.

Don’t ever make the mistake of telling God that you have nothing to offer. That simply is not true. God does not create any junk.

Stopping the endless pursuit of getting somewhere else is the perhaps most beautiful offering we can make to our spirit.

It is a rare and beautiful thing when we choose to offer love in situations when most people would choose to scorn or ignore.

All that we do without offering it to God is wasted.
