Amidst sorrows, the only thing that enlivens us is optimistic faith. Never lose that faith.

Fundamentally, what everyone needs is mental strength and confidence, to manage the mind, just as we manage the outside world.

Today, society is sacrificing love, values and dharma in its pursuit of materialistic gains.

Thinking that God wants something from us is like showing a candle to the sun.

Real happiness in life comes from the mental capacity to adapt to any situation.

Happiness comes from the dissolution of the mind, not from external objects. Through meditation we can achieve everything including bliss, health, strength, intelligence and vitality. But it should be practiced properly in solitude and with care.

You can lead a truly spiritual life while remaining a householder. You will be able to enjoy the bliss of the Self, but your mind has to be on God all the time. Then you can easily attain bliss. A mother bird will be thinking of the young ones in the nest, even when she is out looking for food. Similarly, you have to keep your mind on God, while engaged in all worldly actions. The important thing is to be completely dedicated to God or the Guru. Once you have that dedication, the goal will not be far away.
