With the exception of very few who have gained higher spiritual tendencies in prior lives, Self-realization is not possible for anyone without the blessings of a guru. Think of the guru as the manifestation of God in this world. Take even the most insignificant word of the guru as an order and obey it. That is the real service to the guru. There is no greater austerity. The guru's blessings flow automatically to any obedient disciple. That is the real service to the guru.

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

The person who constantly studies without doing spiritual practice is like the fool who attempts to live in the blueprint of a house.

If you have patience, then you'll also have love. Patience leads to love.

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

Today, our air, food, water-all are polluted. If we do not stop exploiting nature for our temporary selfish gains, we will destroy the world.

Happiness is within everyone, but we are not able to experience it because of our ego's likes and dislikes.
