There are millions and millions of people who are thrown in the midst of poverty and starvation. Animals don't die of starvation, only human beings.

To awaken spiritual unity, and to spread to others the love that is our inherent nature, is the true goal of human life.

Children, we may go to the temple, reverently circumambulate the sanctum sanctorum and put our offering in the charity box, but on our way out if we kick the beggar at the door, where is our devotion? Compassion towards the poor is our duty to God. Mother is not saying that we should give money to every beggar that sits in front of a temple, but do not despise them. Pray for them as well. When we hate others, it is our own mind that becomes impure. Equality of vision is God.

Education for livelihood alone will never make our life full and complete.

Whatever work we do, our mind should be centered on God.

Intellectual prowess has its limitations. Thus, do not limit the scope of your learning to the realm of the intellect.

You can lead a truly spiritual life while remaining a householder. You will be able to enjoy the bliss of the Self, but your mind has to be on God all the time. Then you can easily attain bliss. A mother bird will be thinking of the young ones in the nest, even when she is out looking for food. Similarly, you have to keep your mind on God, while engaged in all worldly actions. The important thing is to be completely dedicated to God or the Guru. Once you have that dedication, the goal will not be far away.
