I was influenced by the political environment of our country that has just gained freedom from British colonialism. And the seminal figures in that environment were Mahatma Gandhi, who had been assassinated shortly after I was born, but nevertheless dominated the collective psyche of the country. And of course there were other statesmen who were very much part of the culture we knew as well as looked upon by society as leaders, and mentors, and people that inspires us to have a vision for idealism.

To love a person is to love their universe.

Understand that if a deep desire lives in your heart, a dream that is part of your soul's fiber, a path exists to bring it to life.

Happiness is the ultimate goal...The mistake we make is not going for happiness first. If we did, everything else would follow.

Happiness is a continuation of happenings which are not resisted.

Mindfulness creates centered awareness. When you do one thing at a time, you're guaranteed excellent results. If you do too many things simultaneously, it messes up your neural circuits. Focus on one thing at a time.

If you restore balance in your own self, you will be contributing immensely to the healing of the world.
