True happiness is when the love that is within us finds expression in external activities.

Children, we are told to make an offering at the temple or at the feet of the guru, not because the Lord or guru is in need of wealth or anything else. Real offering is the act of surrendering the mind and the intellect. How can it be done? We cannot offer our minds as they are, but only the things to which our minds are attached. Today our minds are greatly attached to money and other worldly things. By placing such thoughts at the feet of the Lord, we are offering Him our heart. This is the principle behind giving charities.

Being aware of the bondage is enough to free you from its clutches.

God is standing at the door of every heart. Call Him. He is waiting to come in.

Love and spiritual values received from parents are the strongest assets for a child to face the various trials of adulthood.
