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

Children, daily practice of yoga or sun salutations (surya-namaskara) is very good for health and for spiritual practice. Lack of proper exercise is the cause of many of today's diseases. If we can get somewhere in time on foot, always walk instead of taking a vehicle. It is good exercise. Only if we have to go far should we depend on vehicles. Use a bicycle, whenever possible. This will save money, too.

Go out and serve the suffering. Learn to place others in front of yourself.

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

When someone is full of Love and Compassion, he cannot draw a line between two countries, two faiths or two religions.

Any pleasure gained by means other than mental control weakens the body.

Our compassion and acts of selflessness take us to the deeper truths.
