We are not isolated islands, we are connected links in a chain. Each kind word, each smiling face, each good action, benefits our neighbor, nation, world. Let us pray and meditate together and we shall reach the shore of peace, spreading the sweet holy fragrance of love and vibrations of unity and harmony. Tuning our minds to the supreme consciousness, let us open our hearts and chant the words, "May everyone everywhere be happy."

Be like the honeybee who gathers only nectar wherever it goes. Seek the goodness that is found in everyone.

Crying to God for five minutes is equal to one hour of meditation.

Most human beings know only the language of exploitation. Due to their selfishness, they are unable to consider others.

Look at Nature. Nature is a book from which we must learn. Each object in it is a page of that book.

Deciding to chant the mantra a certain number of times daily will help foster the japa habit. We should always keep a rosary with us for doing japa. A rosary can be made of 108, 54, 27 or 18 beads of rudraksha, tulsi, crystal, sandalwood, gems, etc, with one 'guru bead'. We should resolve to chant a certain number of rosaries (rounds) daily.
