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.

Our efforts to remove hatred and indifference from the world begin by trying to remove them from our own mind.

It is man who, through his thoughts and actions, creates turmoil and disintegration in the natural, harmonious unity of the world.

Everything is God, there is nothing else but God.

Love is the only medicine that can heal the wounds of the world.

If chanting is not possible during a certain task, then pray before starting it: 'Lord, give Your blessing so that I may do this work in a manner that pleases You!' At the end, pray again to the Lord for forgiving any mistakes we may have committed during the task consciously or otherwise.
