When you get up in the morning, let your first thought be directed towards God.

The sun shines down, and its image reflects in a thousand different pots filled with water. The reflections are many, but they are each reflecting the same sun. Similarly, when we come to know who we truly are, we will see ourselves in all people.

Chant your mantra while engaged in work. This way, the mind will be continuously focused on Him.

In today's world, people experience two types of poverty: the poverty caused by lack of food, clothing and shelter, and the poverty caused by lack of love and compassion.

Just as armor protects the soldier, spiritual knowledge protects us from the difficulties of life.
