It is a living death if one is obsessed by pride, ego and anger.

Human love is mostly selfishness; all the time it thinks only of the little 'i'. That 'i' is the ego.

Service is the highest spiritual discipline. Prayer and meditation, or knowledge of scripture and Vedanta (holy scriptures of India), cannot help you reach the goal as quickly as service can. Service has a double effect, it extinguishes the ego and gives bliss.

All service should be regarded as an offering to God, and every opportunity to serve should be welcomed as a gift from God. When service is done in this spirit, it will lead to self-realization.

Discipline is the mark of intelligent living.

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

You can remain in the world for any number of years, but don't let the world take hold. Don't let the world take hold of the inside world. There is the example of the lotus. It stays deep down in the mud. It comes up to the light, and it can't stay without water because it would die. But it does not get mixed up either with the mud or the water. You have seen the lotus; even if the water comes it just goes off again. Now, when they talk of God, they always say 'the lotus eyes, the lotus feet' because of this inner significance.

Prayer must emanate from the heart, where God resides, and not from the head where doctrines and doubts clash.

Do not be obsessed by egotism, imagining that you are the cause of action, everything is due to God.

God, if you think, God you are. Dust if you think, dust you are. As you think, so you become. Think God, be God.

In the beginning you can think, "The world is like a stage. I am only an actor. God is the director. All are His instruments, all are just actors."

Silence is the speech of the spiritual seeker.

There is no enemy more vicious than your own anger.

Who am I?' The answer is 'I am God'. The body comes and goes, but the Atma is permanent. The body has birth and death, but the spirit does not have any of these. You reach the stage where you say, 'I am God', but even there, there is duality, 'God and I'. That is not the full Truth. When we breathe, the breath makes the sound of 'So-Hum', 'He am I'. There is still the body consciousness, the 'I'. But in deep sleep, the declaration of 'He' and 'I' falls away and only '0' and 'M' remain, 'Om'; there is only the One.

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

Desire is like the shadow caused by the morning sun; it gets longer when you run to catch it.

You must enshrine in your hearts the spiritual urge towards light and love, Wisdom and Bliss!

It is only when the individual is good that society will progress. When the society and the nation is based on the observance of human values.

Open the gates of wisdom, tear the veil of ignorance, enter the abode of Divine Bliss. Rest in peace forever.

When human body itself is made of flesh, where is the need to consume the flesh of birds and animals? You should partake of only sacred food. Only then you will have sacred feelings.

If you live on the level of the Body and the Individual, you will get entangled in food, fun and frolic, ease, envy and pride. Forget it, ignore it, overcome it - You will have peace, joy and calm. In the Divine Path, there is no chance of failure; it is the Path of Love.

Every moment is the right moment.

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.
