You take this meat eating. Many people have to kill the animals because of your non-vegetarianism. You are responsible for the death of those animals. They are killed because you eat them. This is a sin. What a sin to kill innocent animals and eat them.

There is no one who can change My course or affect My conduct to the slightest extent. I am the Master over all.

Love helps you to know yourself... turn your vision inward.

The mind must become the servant of the intellect, not the slave of the senses. It must discriminate and detach itself from the body. Like the ripe tamarind fruit, which, becomes loose inside the shell, it must be unattached to this shell, this casement called body.

Do not contemplate on death; it is just an incident in life; contemplate on God, who is the master of all life.

Do not spend your time thinking about the world or your relationships to individuals. These are all impermanent. They have only to do with the body.

Do not develop jealousy, hatred or envy on any count.

One should cultivate human values for healthy living. This calls for harmony in thought, word, and deed. When you cultivate this harmony you will be free from desires and fears.

Prema (love): practice that; develop that; spread that; and all the hatreds and jealousies of today will disappear. That is the duty of the Divine Life Society, here as well as elsewhere.

Knowledge without devotion to God produces hatred.

When you want to be honored by others, you learn to honor them first.

God will certainly be pleased if you give water for the thirsty, bread for the hungry and clothes to the naked.

You are seeking joy and peace in far-off places. But the spring of joy is in your heart. The haven of peace is in yourself.

People say "I want peace." If you remove I (ego), and your want (desire), you are left with peace.
