“Love is the only medicine that can heal the wounds of the world.”

When people live in accordance with Nature, the song of life becomes sweet.

If we are not able to fix the Lord firmly in our hearts, even a lifetime of temple-going does not do us any good.

Love is our true essence. Love has no limitations of caste, religion, race, or nationality. We are all beads strung together on the same thread of love. To awaken this unity-and to spread to others the love that is our inherent nature-is the true goal of human life.

Just as the right hand comes to dress the wound on the left hand, we should see another person’s sorrows as our own and come to his or her aid.

Purify the mind through selfless service.

Pray for a peaceful and contented mind in all circumstances.

By living in harmony with Nature one gains a healthy mind and body.

Grace is openness. By remaining open, you let go of your ego and narrow-minded views, and allow divine grace to express itself through you.

True happiness is when the love that is within us finds expression in external activities.

Love is the very foundation, beauty and fulfillment of life. If we dive deep enough into ourselves, we will find that the one thread of universal love ties all beings together. As this awareness dawns within us, peace alone will reign.

We are all beads strung together on the same thread of love.

Compassion can shoulder the suffering of the entire world without feeling the slightest bit of pain.

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.

No one becomes pure and selfless overnight; it involves time and concentrated effort, coupled with tremendous patience and love.

A seed has to get buried in the soil for its real form as a plant to emerge. Only through modesty and humility can we grow. Pride and conceit will only destroy us. Live with the firm attitude, ‘I am everyone’s servant.’ Then the whole universe will bow down to us.

Our attitude should be: Whatever happens I will remain strong, courageous and happy.

There is no medicine like hope.

The worst thing about medicine is that one kind makes another necessary

Do not let either the medical authorities or the politicians mislead you. Find out what the facts are, and make your own decisions about how to live a happy life and how to work for a better world.

Books are meat and medicine and flame and flight and flower steel, stitch, cloud and clout, and drumbeats on the air.

Vaccines are a miracle cure. Eight out of 10 children are getting vaccines.

Use what seems like poison as medicine. Use your personal suffering as the path to compassion for all beings.

One sometimes finds what one is not looking for. When I woke up just after dawn on Sept. 28, 1928, I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic, or bacteria killer. But I guess that was exactly what I did.

To those who have chosen the profession of medicine, a knowledge of chemistry, and of some branches of natural history, and, indeed, of several other departments of science, affords useful assistance.
