Isn't it human beings who impart vitality to the image in the temple? If no one sculpts the stone, it doesn't become an image. If no one installs it in the temple, it does not acquire any sanctity. If no worship is done, it does not acquire any power. Without human effort there cannot be any temples. What is wrong then in saying that we should view great masters as equal to God? Temples installed by such spiritual masters have a special energy of their own.

Consoling a miserable soul, wiping the tears of a crying person is greater than any worldly achievement.

Pray for a peaceful and contented mind in all circumstances.

A true spiritual seeker should exercise control all the time, throughout the day and night.

It is my children who have made all this possible. My children are my wealth; they are my strength.

The ashram is Mother's body. Mother's soul is in Her children. Children, all the service done for the ashram, is done for Mother. The ashram is not anyone's private property. It is the means to provide peace and quietude for the entire world.

If we approach Nature with , it will serve us as our best friend, a friend that won't let us down.
