There is no short cut to God; sadhana must be performed regularly and with devotion. It is our own effort which will enable us to experience the grace of God which is being showered on us all the time. Therefore, whatever spare time you get, use it to seek God. If you create peace in your own heart by doing sadhana, then that will have a positive effect on your family, your work and so on. The peace and love of God will overflow out of your heart and encourage others to move on the right path.

Mental purity will come through constant chanting of the divine name. This is the simplest way. You are trying to cross the ocean of transmigration, the cycle of birth and death. The mantra is the oar of the boat; it is the instrument you use to cross the samsara of your restless mind, with its unending thought waves. The mantra can also be compared to a ladder that you climb to reach the heights of God realization.

If the desires are not controlled now, later they will control you.

Peace is not a product of an intellectual exercise. It is an inner blossoming that occurs with meditation.

Today, our air, food, water-all are polluted. If we do not stop exploiting nature for our temporary selfish gains, we will destroy the world.

Each and every object in Nature teaches us something. Renunciation and selflessness are the greatest lessons to learn from Nature.

Just as the right hand comes to dress the wound on the left hand, we should see another person's sorrows as our own and come to his or her aid.
