Every night, contemplate: What good did I do today? How can I do better tomorrow?

Children, we are told to make an offering at the temple or at the feet of the guru, not because the Lord or guru is in need of wealth or anything else. Real offering is the act of surrendering the mind and the intellect. How can it be done? We cannot offer our minds as they are, but only the things to which our minds are attached. Today our minds are greatly attached to money and other worldly things. By placing such thoughts at the feet of the Lord, we are offering Him our heart. This is the principle behind giving charities.

When love overflows and is expressed through every word and deed, we call it compassion. That is the goal of religion.

The factor stringing together individuals, society and nature is missing from today's educational system. That factor is spiritual values.

Pure love makes you feel as light as a flower. You won't feel any heaviness or burden. Ego creates the burden.

Pray to God: It's all right if you don't love me, but please let me love you!

We should never forget that after every night, there is a dawn. We should never lose our optimistic faith.
