The world’s biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.

One has to reap the fruits of his karma. The law of karma is inevitable and is accepted by all the great philosophies of the world: 'As you sow, so shall you reap.'

If you seek approval from others in this world, you will not know happiness.

Sankalpa (determination) is very important. You cannot change your circumstances, the world, or society to suit you. If you have strength and determination, you can go through the procession of life very successfully.

When we're deluded there's a world to escape. When we're aware, there's nothing to escape.

Every object in the world promises satisfaction, but it never gives satisfaction - it only promises.

Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world, to make happiness possible for the world.

Love the world with your heart's dreams. Serve the world with your life's promises.

The life of this world is nothing but the harmony of opposites.

The happiness of this world is something we cannot keep; it is just like the horizon - the nearer you go, the farther it goes. As soon as you get it, you see it is not the thing you wanted.

Strong and healthy, who thinks of sickness until it strikes like lightning? Preoccupied with the world, who thinks of death, until it arrives like thunder?

The world is not made of anti-mu mesons, quarks, and photons, and electromagnetic fields. Reality is made of words.

Opening to oneself fully is opening to the world.

Our world is endangered by the absence of good ideas.

We will not stay in this world for a long time. Only if this body falls singing of the glory of Lord Sri Hari will our birth in this body be successful.

He who loves is not ashamed before men of what he does for God, neither does he hide it through shame though the whole world should condemn it.

I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.

By means of meditation, I feel that we have planted dynamite to transcend the world of confusion. So it would be good if you could practice meditation as much as you can, as much as physically and psychologically possible. You could become more clear and sane, and you could also influence the national neurosis in that way.

People in the world wish to make things rigid, things which are of the finest nature which words cannot explain. When a person describes the hereafter, it is just like wanting to weigh the soul or photograph the spirit. I personally think that you must be able to realize yourself what the hereafter is. You must not depend upon my words.

Spiritual experience is not a degree or a diploma. When words and the world disappear, you experience the play of Consciousness everywhere.

I believe that the Hindu faith has developed the spiritual in its devotees at the expense of the material, and I think that in the Western world the contrary is true. By uniting the materialism of the West with the spiritualism of the East I believe much can be accomplished. It may be that in the attempt the Hindu faith will lose much of its individuality.

It is as if a king had sent you to a country to carry out one special, specific task. You go to the country and you perform a hundred other tasks, but if you have not performed the task you were sent for, it is as if you have done nothing at all. So people have come into the world for particular tasks, and that is our purpose. If we don't perform it, we will have done nothing.

Apart from thoughts, there is no independent entity called the world. In deep sleep there are no thoughts, and there is no world. In the states of waking and dream, there are thoughts, and there is a world also. Just as the spider emits the thread (of the web) out of itself and again withdraws it into itself, likewise the mind projects the world out of itself and again resolves it into itself.
