My director, Jesus, does not teach me to count my acts, but to do everything for love, to refuse Him nothing, to be pleased when He gives me a chance to prove to Him that I love Him - but all this in peace - in abandonment.

That which a man acquires by contemplation he should spend in love.

A man is his own best friend; therefore he ought to love himself best.

In India when we meet and part we often say, "Namaste," which means: I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides; I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides; I honor the place in you of love, of light, of truth, of peace. I honor the place within you where if you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us… "Namaste."

Love is power, the purest power and the greatest power: Love is God. Nothing can be higher than that. But this power is not a desire to enslave others, this power is not a destructive force. This power is the very source of creation. This power is creativity. And this power will transform you totally into a new being. It has no concern with anybody. Its whole concern is to bring your seeds to their ultimate flowering.

Motherhood involves a special communion with the mystery of life, as it develops in the mother's womb. The mother is filled with wonder at this mystery of life, and 'understands' with unique intuition what is happening inside her. In the light of the 'beginning', the mother accepts and loves as a person the child she is carrying in her womb. This unique contact with the new human being developing within her gives rise to an attitude towards human beings - not only towards her own child, but every human being - which profoundly marks the woman's personality.

Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.

The man filled with good qualities like Truth, Love, absence of jealousy, ego, and hatred can see God without searching for Him. He becomes a Jnani (a man of spiritual wisdom).

Don't look for big things, just do small things with great love...the smaller the thing, the greater must be our love.

Life is to grow in knowledge, love, and perfection. Be perfect through sincere effort. Rest not until you attain that state of perfection.

There are only two ways: either we love-and love in action is service - or we put hatred into action and destroy.

Love is nothing if it is not spontaneous. It cannot be a conclusion of reasoning.

When this love becomes developed in man it makes him able to understand the real position of his own Self as well as of others surrounding him.

The family that prays together stays together, and if they stay together they will love one another as God has loved each one of them. And works of love are always works of peace.

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger... Let a man overcome anger by love.

The more you give, the more you will get. Then life will become a sheer dance of love.

Meditation is like giving a hug to ourselves, getting in touch with that awesome reality in us. While meditating we feel a deep sense of intimacy with God, a love that is inexplicable.

As long as the "I" is there, love cannot be. All that we call love is only desire, longing, passion and attachment; as long as ego is there, all these bind one.

What I want from my lovers is real, unadulterated love, and from my genuine workers I expect real work done.

Human beings are born to experience pure love, and they never get it. They are searching to experience it from birth until death.

I am no longer alone with myself, and I can only artificially recall the scary and beautiful feeling of solitude. This is the shadow side of the fortune of love

A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.

Ordinary love is selfish, darkly rooted in desires and satisfactions. Divine love is without condition, without boundary, without change. The flux of the human heart is gone forever at the transfixing touch of pure love.
