You must accept the teachings of Christ and follow them. Christ said to be like a little child - never think or speak anything that could harm anyone.
This world is all attachment. Yet you get worried because you are attached.
They came to fight with me. They wanted to burn the temple building. I knew what they were after and took up their challenge. If you had seen their condition you would have laughed. They ran for their lives and many of them soiled their trousers. Fools - they do not know me. Bigger battles I have fought and won. How could they know my strength? They are all fools.
Whatever may be guru – he may be a lunatic or a common person. Once you have accepted him, he is the lord of lords.
I take the dust from the lotus feet of the guru to cleanse the mirror of my mind. So begins a sacred ode to Hanuman.
The best service you can do is to keep your thoughts on God. Keep God in mind every minute.
Love the poor. Serve them. Give everything to the poor, even your clothing. Give it all away. Jesus gave away all, including His body.

God will give you everything you need for your spiritual development. Hold on to nothing.
Prayer and worship should be done by everyone, every day, as the highest obligatory duty to God; visiting temples and pilgrimages should be undertaken only under favorable conditions and suitable times. They are not essential for your worship and religious duties, whereas prayers and pujas are, and must be done in some form or other.

If you want to see God, kill desires. Desires are in the mind. When you have a desire for something, don’t act on it and it will go away. If you desire to drink this cup of tea, don’t, and the desire for it will go away.
Truth is the most difficult tapasya. Men will hate you for telling the truth. They will call you names. They may even kill you, but you must tell the truth. If you live in truth, God will always stand with you.
When people think of me, I am with them.
You can leave me. I won’t leave you. Once I catch hold of you, I don’t let go.
