If we are not able to fix the Lord firmly in our hearts, even a lifetime of temple-going does not do us any good.

Crying to God for five minutes is equal to one hour of meditation.

If the desires are not controlled now, later they will control you.

The change will only happen outside once we change within ourselves.

The indicator of true knowledge is the ability to differentiate what uplifts us from what pulls us down.

Love is our true essence. Love has no limitations of caste, religion, race, or nationality. We are all beads strung together on the same thread of love. To awaken this unity-and to spread to others the love that is our inherent nature-is the true goal of human life.

Many priests and employees at temples work for pay. No one should judge religion on the basis of the shortcomings of such workers. We should frame suitable rules and regulations for preventing them from falling prey to material temptations. The true guiding spirits of religion are those who engage in selfless service while dedicating their entire lives to attaining the vision of God.
