Not by blaming the world, not by shunning the world, but only by loving the world can I have peace of mind.

If we know the divine art of concentration, if we know the divine art of meditation, if we know the divine art of contemplation, easily and consciously we can unite the inner world and the outer world.

The things that most deserve our gratitude we just take for granted. Without air we cannot live for more than a minute or two. Everyday we are breathing in and breathing out, but do we ever feel grateful to the air? If we do not drink water, we cannot survive. Even our body is composed to a large extent of water. But do we give any value to water? Every morning when we open our eyes, we see the sun blessingfully offering us light and life-energy, which we badly need. But are we grateful to the sun?

To free our body from fear what we need is the glorious experience of the soul.

A spiritually established life is not an easy task. But a materially satisfied life is an impossible task.

It is not human nature to enjoy what we get with no effort.

To deliberately criticize another individual may cause an indelible stain on the critic.

When you meditate, what you actually do is to enter into a calm or still, silent mind. We have to be fully aware of the arrival and attack of thoughts. That is to say, we shall not allow any thought, divine or undivine, good or bad, to enter into our mind. Our mind should be absolutely silent. Then we have to go deep within; there we have to observe our real existence.

Unless and until you have developed a heart inundated with compassion, do not sit on the seat of judgment.

The moment we use the term 'help', a kind of egocentric idea enters into us. If we help someone, that means we are in a superior position. When we help, we feel that we are one step ahead or one step higher than the ones that we are helping. But if we serve someone, then we offer our capacity with humility, on the strength of our loving concern and oneness. So let us use the proper term, 'service'.

Gratitude is the sweetest thing in a seeker's life- in all human life. If there is gratitude in your heart, then there will be tremendous sweetness in your eyes.

Be happy! God sees in you another God. God sees you as another God. God sees you and He as One.

In this world, man has two significant possessions: intelligence and emotion. These two possessions govern our day-to-day life. But very often we see that emotion (ego) gets the upper hand in our life. We know that even if someone is extremely intelligent, when his emotion comes to the fore it will devour him. He is compelled to do what his emotion asks him to do.

Forgive, you will have happiness. Forget, you will have satisfaction. Forgive and forget, You will have everlasting peace Within and without.

If you really want to love humanity, then you have to love humanity as it is now.

The meditation that gives you immediate joy or continuous joy is the best meditation for you. Everyone will not have the same meditation. Your meditation will not suit me, my meditation will not suit you. You like a certain food, I don't like it. You are right in your own way I am right in my own way. But once you know what your best meditation is, please stick to it.

Your mind has a flood of questions. There is but one teacher who can answer them. Who is that teacher? Your silence-loving heart.

Life is nothing but the expansion of love.

God has not forgotten to give us peace. He is just waiting for us to ask for it.

Fear is bound to disappear when you realize that failure is not something shameful, damaging, destructive, or painful, but something natural.

Peace is a stranger to the rigid mind. Peace is a guest of the flexible heart.

Do not try to entrap others with your haughty knowledge. To your wide surprise, they will entrap you with their lengthy ignorance.

I did not come into the world to prove anything. I came into the world to love everyone and everything.
