Try to make others happy, and don't despair over all the evil in the world. Instead of cursing the dark, let us each light one small lamp.

We should learn to love everyone equally, because in essence we are all one, one Atman, one soul.

Understand this great truth: The happiness that comes from the pleasures of the world is but a minute reflection of the infinite bliss that comes from within your own Self.

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

Happiness comes from the dissolution of the mind, not from external objects. Through meditation we can achieve everything including bliss, health, strength, intelligence and vitality. But it should be practiced properly in solitude and with care.

Children, everyone should try to wake up before five in the morning. The ideal time for spiritual practices like meditation and chanting is Brahma Muhurta. During this period, sattvic qualities are predominant in nature. Moreover, the mind will be clear and body energetic.

It is my children who have made all this possible. My children are my wealth; they are my strength.
