“Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the sleeping humanity in one’s heart.”

Education must award self-confidence, the courage to depend on one’s own strength.

The ideal of service and the urge to practice it form the very heart of education.

The end of knowledge is wisdom The end of culture is perfection The end of wisdom is freedom The end of education is character. And character consists of eagerness to renounce one’s selfish greed.

Education must open the eyes and enable them to recognise the One behind the many.

Character is the most precious gift of education.

True education consists in the cultivation of the heart.

Education should ennable the students, but instead it is debasing them. Instead of shaping the young into diamonds, it is turning them into coals. It is not bringing transformation in them, It is not bestowing wisdom.

The father, the mother and the teacher are the three primarily responsible for moulding the future of the country.

Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.

The objective of education should be impressed on the children’s minds. The academic education of today is shallow and useless because it has no value orientation.

Unless knowledge is transformed into wisdom, and wisdom is expressed in character; education is a wasteful process.

The cultivation of Love is the greatest need today.

To every one of us there must come a time when the whole universe will be found to have been a dream, when we find the soul is infinitely better than its surroundings. It is only a question of time, and time is nothing in the infinite.

Education has to be welcomed as a Spiritual Practice for the establishment of Peace in the individual heart as well as in society including the human commonwealth.

Let anyone speak hundreds of things against you, do not resent by giving a bitter reply. If you tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy. If anybody wants any money from you, and you are not inclined to give, do not give. But do not bark at him like a Dog.

You seek too much information and not enough transformation.

Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.

True strength is the courage to ask for help.

Courage is grace under pressure.

Be courageous! Have faith! Go forward.

Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.

The world is before you, and you need not take it or leave it as it was when you came in.

If you want to discover new oceans, you must first have the courage to leave shore.

You have to fight, you have to have courage for what you really want.
