If we want to save the world, we must have a plan. But no plan will work unless we meditate.

The most important thing is to have a sense of responsibility, commitment, and concern for each of our fellow human beings.

Sin contains its own judgement and punishment.

A mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.

In my childhood, and particularly when I take the responsibility, I already have sort of keen desire, we must change our system. Then as soon as we reach India, 1959, at once we start working for democratization. Now here if remain in a political sort of field, supreme leader, at the same time religious leader, that may become hindrance of proper democracy.

Peace isn't the mere absence of violence; peace must come from inner peace. And inner peace comes from taking others’ interests into account.

Whether we love humanity or not, we must realize that we are part of it. My future depends entirely on the future of humanity, and so I am compelled to take care of humanity. That is why being compassionate is actually in my own best interest. And a symptom of my own peace of mind is that I can share comfort with others around me.
