“If you are a taker of happiness you get misery, if you are a giver of happiness you get joy and love.”

Wake up and realize this is all made up of thoughts, just thoughts. Your appreciation of beauty is a thought; your aversion to an object that is ugly is a thought. Your craving or aversion is nothing but a passing thought in the mind. Realize this is just a thought and you will be free.

Love is giving everything and taking nothing.

When you are infinitely indebted for your body, for Knowledge, for things you have received, and for your own life, then you bask in the abundance of the Creator

Love combined with wisdom is bliss, and that is devotion. Devotion is a strong bond, a sense of belongingness. Everybody is born with it. It’s just like becoming a child again.

Real beauty is when you’re centered, when our mind is with the truth. That is how every baby is beautiful because they are centered.

Dream the impossible. Know that you are born in this world to do something wonderful and unique; don’t let this opportunity pass by. Give yourself the freedom to dream and think big.

Don’t postpone your happiness until some perfect future date. Be happy now, tomorrow will take care of itself.

Devi energy (shakti) is there within all of us. Devi is not somewhere else, not in some other world. It is within us – Devi Shakti

Love is preserved by wisdom. Destroyed by demand, tested by doubt, nourished by longing. It blossoms with faith and grows with gratitude.

Your worries, your feelings, your thoughts arise in your own mind. You are totally responsible for all your feelings – how you feel, what you think, what you do. You are responsible.

All these seven colors are part of one rainbow, yet they are all different. They have their own quality, their own identity, their own flavor to it. So it is a rainbow. The Divine loves diversity, that is why he made us all different.

Even if you win in ego it is a loss. Even if you lose in love it is a victory.

Love is not an emotion. It is your very existence.

For external beauty, you put on things; for real beauty, you have to drop all things. For external beauty you have to have make-up; for real beauty you only have to realize that you are already made up.

Make your smile cheaper and anger expensive!

If we sit deep in meditation, the glow within the body will brighten, and will expand and spread outside. That is Devi Puja.

As a rule, only the poor are generous.

As a rule, only the poor are generous. Rich people can always find excellent reasons for not handing over twenty thousand francs to a relative.

You know what I hate? Indian givers… no, I take that back.

A woman of generous character will sacrifice her life a thousand times over for her lover, but will break with him for ever over a question of pride.

What I spent, I had; What I kept, I lost; What I gave, I have.

Giving back is the right thing to do, whether it’s donating clothing or even just a smile to someone who needs it.

To ease another’s burden, help to carry it.

I’m not great with money. I’d go crazy if I were left to my own devices. My mum and girlfriend sort it out. I’m not driven by it, but I love to be generous.
