Any pleasure gained by means other than mental control weakens the body.

If we keep holding on to God, there is nothing to fear.

A true spiritual seeker should exercise control all the time, throughout the day and night.

Learn to be thankful to everyone, to the entire creation, even to your enemy and also to those who insult, because they all help you to grow

Animals too experience sorrow, love, anger and other emotions.

Smiling is one of the highest forms of meditation.

Changing the world is like trying to straighten a dog's tail. However much you may try, you won't succeed. But although the tail won't straighten, if you keep trying every day, at least you will put on some muscle. Similarly, even though it is difficult to make a change, our effort to do so in itself brings positive results. It will help us change. Without waiting for others to change,if we change ourselves first, that will make a difference. Instead of worrying about results, focus on doing our best in what we are engaged in.
