A musk deer searches for the source of the fragrance of musk, but it won't find it because the fragrance comes from within itself. Bliss is not to be found outside of us; it exists within us.

Our highest, most important duty in this world is to help our fellow beings.

Couples should abstain from sexual relations at least 2 or 3 days a week. Gradually try to reach a stage of celibacy most days.

If you have patience, then you'll also have love. Patience leads to love. If you forcefully open the petals of a bud, you won't be able to enjoy its beauty and fragrance. Only when it blossoms by following its natural course, will the beauty and fragrance of a flower unfold.

Amidst sorrows, the only thing that enlivens us is optimistic faith. Never lose that faith.

Make a firm decision: 'Whatever happens, I will be happy. I will be strong. God is always with me.'

Loving words and deeds are the best alms.
