We must remember that man is not an island, totally isolated and disconnected from others. We are all part of a universal chain, or the universal consciousness. What happens to one happens to all.

Our educational system needs to give equal importance to the intellect and the heart.

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.

Pure love transcends the body. It is between hearts. It has nothing to do with bodies.

One who goes after the taste of the tongue does not get to know the taste of the heart.

We should serve others without any expectations whatsoever. When others throw thorns at us, we should be able to throw flowers back at them.

Our ultimate dharma is self-realization. Thoughts and actions that support our spiritual evolution are real dharma.
