Spirituality actually must be above politics. Or some other sort of business.

Nothing comes into being without a cause and when all the conditions are created, there is nothing that can prevent the consequence.

There should be a balance between material and spiritual progress, a balance achieved through the principles based on love and compassion.

Responsibility - moral responsibilities, responsibilities regarding society - these are things that come from the heart.

Mental happiness is more important than physical comfort. Physical comfort comes from the material. But material facilities cannot provide you with peace of mind.

Each of you should feel that you have great potential and that, with self-confidence and a little more effort, change really is possible if you want it. If you feel that your present way of life is unpleasant or has some difficulties, then don't look at these negative things. See the positive side, the potential, and make an effort.

To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else.
