“If japa is maintained, no useless talk during work will be possible. The mind will always remain peaceful. Modern day diseases are mostly psychosomatic. Japa will bestow good health to both mind and body.”

The factor stringing together individuals, society and nature is missing from today’s educational system. That factor is spiritual values.

While carrying responsibilities, never forget to smile.

We should serve others without any expectations whatsoever. When others throw thorns at us, we should be able to throw flowers back at them.

One should see any opportunity to serve as a rare and precious gift, and never waste such an opportunity.

To awaken spiritual unity, and to spread to others the love that is our inherent nature, is the true goal of human life.

In today’s world, human beings are dying and human machines are taking birth.

Each and every object in Nature teaches us something. Renunciation and selflessness are the greatest lessons to learn from Nature.

Pray May all reach the shore of peace, spreading the sweet holy fragrance of Love and vibrations of unity and harmony.

Only when human beings are able to perceive and acknowledge the Self in each other can there be real peace.

Human beings are born to experience pure love, and they never get it. They are searching to experience it from birth until death.

Try to make others happy, and don’t despair over all the evil in the world. Instead of cursing the dark, let us each light one small lamp.

Amidst sorrows, the only thing that enlivens us is optimistic faith. Never lose that faith.

When humanity serves Nature, Nature serves humanity. When we serve animals and plants, they too serve us in return.

Pray: O Lord, make my eyes see only the good in everyone.

God realization and self-realization are one and the same. God-realization is nothing but the ability and expansiveness of heart to love everything equally.

Whether we laugh or cry, the days are going to pass by. So why not choose to laugh?

The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping the old ones, which ramify, for those brought up as most of us have been, into every corner of our minds.

Our whole social environment seems to us to be filled with forces which really exist only in our own minds.

I wish that I may never think the smiles of the great and powerful a sufficient inducement to turn aside from the straight path of honesty and the convictions of my own mind.

To our generation Einstein has been made to become a double symbol – a symbol of the mind travelling in the cold regions of space, and a symbol of the brave and generous outcast, pure in heart and cheerful of spirit.

With all the travel we’re doing to cold-weather cities, your mind definitely starts to wander. It gets you away from the game. Even when you arrive in a city, you’re tempted to just sit in your hotel and rest. Sometimes it’s nice to just get out and walk around, to see what’s there.

The unfed mind devours itself.

I grew up with the mindset that when you get home from work, you go to dinner and watch a movie. I don’t want to be going to a club and taking off my panties.

The pains of childbirth were altogether different from the enveloping effects of other kinds of pain. These were pains one could follow with one’s mind.
