Our educational system needs to give equal importance to the intellect and the heart.

Nobody likes to let go of the ego- it is so precious to everyone. However, once you have attained a state of egolessness, the world won't disappear, as you may think it will. The world will continue, but a change takes place within you. Something is uncovered. You start seeing everything with the wonder and innocence of a child.

Due to our preconceptions regarding education, we fail to inquire into the most obvious and wondrous field of study - ourselves.

Food should be consumed while chanting your mantra inwardly. This will purify the food and the mind at the same time.

Keep the child within alive. A child never tires of hearing the birds sing, never gets bored looking at flowers.

Try not to have any break in chanting the mantra even for a moment. Continue repeating the mantra while engaged in any task. Chanting in the mind may not always be possible at first, so in the beginning, practice japa by moving the lips incessantly-like a fish drinking water.

If we keep holding on to God, there is nothing to fear.
