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

Try to make others happy, and don't despair over all the evil in the world. Instead of cursing the dark, let us each light one small lamp.

We should learn to love everyone equally, because in essence we are all one, one Atman, one soul.

Love one another without any expectations. Then, there is no need to go anywhere in search of heaven.

Whatever you see, hear or experience in the world is ephemeral. Get in touch with the eternal substratum of everything.

The real mistake humans have committed lays in the inability to differentiate between requirements and luxuries.

Mental purity will come through constant chanting of the divine name. This is the simplest way. You are trying to cross the ocean of transmigration, the cycle of birth and death. The mantra is the oar of the boat; it is the instrument you use to cross the samsara of your restless mind, with its unending thought waves. The mantra can also be compared to a ladder that you climb to reach the heights of God realization.
