Do not give up devotional service even if there are innumerable dangers, countless insults and endless harassment. Do not become disheartened that most people in this world do not accept the message of unalloyed devotional service. Never give up your devotional service and hearing and chanting about Krishna which is your everything. Always chant the Holy Name becoming more humble than a blade of grass and more tolerant than a tree.

So, the whole idea, you see, is that everything's falling apart, so don't try and stop it. When you're falling off a precipice, it doesn't do you any good to hang onto a rock that's falling with you. See? But everything is doing that. And so, again, this is another case of our completely wasting our energy in trying to prevent the world from falling apart. Don't do it. And then you'll be able to do something interesting with the free energy.

I am not a speaker nor a preacher. I have no mission to change the world. I have no original words or teaching to give anyone. I reflect only what I've seen and heard - most ordinary, very common. I have no fascination for fresh ideas and activity. All enthusiasm for worldly endeavours and strivings have all but gone. For me, thoughts, words and deeds- the activities of life, are merely the utensils for serving out the 'prasad' of the Being-ness.

There do exist enquiring minds, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him.

Every thought, feeling, and emotion creates a molecule known as a neuropeptide. Neuropeptides travel throughout your body and hook onto receptor sites of cells and neurons. Your brain takes in the information, converts it into chemicals, and lets your whole body know if there's trouble in the world or cause for celebration. Your body is directly influenced as these molecules course through the bloodstream, delivering the energetic effect of whatever your brain is thinking and feeling.

You don't know what is going to come to you in this world; you have to go on living and worrying. Those who die are pitying us; they are blessing us. Why should you grieve for them?

The wise investigate all forms, and departing from this world, attain Immortality.

Who am I? From where did I come? Who is my father? Who is my mother? Ask yourself these questions again and again to find the truth. You will see that this world is transitory, like a dream.

Are you polluting the world or cleaning up the mess? You are responsible for your inner space; nobody else is, just as you are responsible for the planet. As within, so without: If humans clear inner pollution, then they will also cease to create outer pollution.

If you can win over your mind, you can win over the whole world.

In a worldly life, as well as in spiritual life, you need a proper teacher, a proper guide.

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."

If we are to accomplish anything in this world, it will in equal measure be due to the work and achievements of others.

Doesn't the world bring forth thinking in human heads with the same necessity that it brings forth blossoms on the plant?

Clear the mind of all worldly things. If you can't control your mind, how will you realize God?

We do yoga to make life more beautiful.. to stop misery from entering our world.

My brothers and sisters, remember this again and again: you must practice Kriya with love, according to your capacity. It is the way to cross the ocean of the world. With folded hands, humbly tell this to all.

In response to the question, 'How can we help to promote world peace?' Mother Teresa replied, 'Go home and love your children.'

This world is not the same to all people...

The Self itself is the world; the Self itself is 'I'; the Self itself is God; all is Siva, the Self.

The most dangerous things in the world are immense accumulations of human beings who are manipulated by only a few heads.

You are walking on the earth as in a dream. Our world is a dream within a dream; you must realize that to find God is the only goal, the only purpose, for which you are here. For Him alone you exist. Him you must find.

This world is in deep trouble, from top to bottom. But it can be swiftly healed by the balm of love.
