People think that God wants our offerings. God does not need anything from us. He is the giver. He is like the sun - the giver of light.

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

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.

The real mistake humans have committed lays in the inability to differentiate between requirements and luxuries.

We are not isolated islands, we are connected links in a chain. Each kind word, each smiling face, each good action, benefits our neighbor, nation, world. Let us pray and meditate together and we shall reach the shore of peace, spreading the sweet holy fragrance of love and vibrations of unity and harmony. Tuning our minds to the supreme consciousness, let us open our hearts and chant the words, "May everyone everywhere be happy."

There is no short cut to God; sadhana must be performed regularly and with devotion. It is our own effort which will enable us to experience the grace of God which is being showered on us all the time. Therefore, whatever spare time you get, use it to seek God. If you create peace in your own heart by doing sadhana, then that will have a positive effect on your family, your work and so on. The peace and love of God will overflow out of your heart and encourage others to move on the right path.

When one has truly imbibed spiritual qualities, they will spontaneously be reflected in one's thoughts and actions.
