Married life, if lived with the proper love and understanding, helps awaken the feminine within a man, and the masculine within a woman.

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

Look carefully at what is of value in others and respect that.

The essence of motherhood is not restricted to women who have given birth; it is a principle inherent in both women and men. It is an attitude of the mind. It is love - and that love is the very breath of life. No one would say, 'I will breathe only when I am with my family and friends; I won't breathe in front of my enemies.' Similarly, for those in whom motherhood has awakened, love and compassion for everyone are as much part of their being as breathing.

Children, temples are places where, at least for a short while, the remembrance of God is kindled in our hearts which otherwise are totally immersed in worldly transactions.

Lessen the quantity of unnecessary thoughts and allow more space for the energy of love to flow within you.

Peace is not a product of an intellectual exercise. It is an inner blossoming that occurs with meditation.
