Children, we must cultivate reverence towards all great masters, monks and gurus.

No one becomes pure and selfless overnight; it involves time and concentrated effort, coupled with tremendous patience and love.

...love is our true nature. When we do not express love in our words and actions it is like honey hidden in a rock.

We give physical exercise to the body, but neglect the heart. The exercise for the heart is uplifting the destitute and the suffering.

If chanting is not possible during a certain task, then pray before starting it: 'Lord, give Your blessing so that I may do this work in a manner that pleases You!' At the end, pray again to the Lord for forgiving any mistakes we may have committed during the task consciously or otherwise.

Pure love removes all negative feelings. Destroying all selfishness, it expects nothing but gives anything. Pure love is a constant giving up- giving up of everything that belongs to you. What really belongs to you? Only the ego. Love consumes in its flames all preconceived ideas, prejudices and judgments, all those things which stem from the ego. Pure love is nothing but the emptying of the mind of all its fears and the tearing off of all masks. It exposes the Self as it is.

We should fill the syllabuses of schools with lessons about love and compassion.
