“Purify the mind through selfless service.”

What we need is peace of mind. We can gain that only through the control of our mind.

Before death overpowers us, we have great things to accomplish by performing right actions.

Thinking that God wants something from us is like showing a candle to the sun.

Just as food and sleep are necessary for the body, spiritual understanding is needed for a healthy mind.

First, the human mind should be harmonized, then the harmony of Nature will spontaneously take place.

Everything is God, there is nothing else but God.

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.

The race of prophets is extinct. Europe is becoming set in its ways, slowly embalming itself beneath the wrappings of its borders, its factories, its law-courts and its universities. The frozen Mind cracks between the mineral staves which close upon it.

Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.

Science is unpoetic only to minds jaundiced with sentiment and romanticism, the great masters of the past boasted all they could of it and found it magical.

Volumes are now written and spoken upon the effect of the mind upon the body. Much of it is true. But I wish a little more was thought of the effect of the body on the mind.

I’ve always had to prove myself to people growing up. I had to show them that I could do this and I could do that and paying no mind to what the critics said.

One must let the play happen to one; one must let the mind loose to respond as it will, to receive impressions, to sense rather than know, to gather rather than immediately understand.

Illness sets the mind free sometimes to roam and surmise.

Is there a chance? A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel? A reason to fight? Is there a chance you may change your mind? Or are we ashes and wine?
