Better grounded emotionally through patience, we become stronger mentally and spiritually, and tend to be healthier physically.

I do not want to carry any public position.

Love and compassion ... are the ultimate source of human happiness, and the need for them lies at the very core of our being.

The mind is key. If anything should be considered a god, so to speak, it is the mind, not money. A healthy positive mind is the utmost priority. But if we were to reverse the order of these priorities, what would happen? I find it hard to imagine how a person with great wealth, bad health, no friends, and no peace of mind could feel even slightly happy.

We need to strengthen such inner values as contentment, patience and tolerance, as well as compassion for others. Keeping in mind that it is expressions of affection rather than money and power that attract real friends, compassion is the key to ensuring our own well-being.

Blessings don’t come from outside, but from within. Whatever blessings we receive are the result of our own efforts and positive actions.

Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace.
