Children, we cannot control our mind without controlling our desire for taste. The health aspect, not the taste, should be the prime criteria in choosing the food. We cannot relish the blossoming of the heart without foregoing the taste of the tongue.

Peace is not just the absence of war and conflict; it goes well beyond that. Peace must be fostered within the individual, within the family and within society. Simply transferring the world's nuclear weapons to a museum will not in itself bring about world peace. The nuclear weapons of the mind must first be eliminated.

After praying, and before eating anything, it is a good custom for everyone to feed one another a small portion of the food. This will help to cultivate mutual love and affection among the family members.

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

Make a firm decision: 'Whatever happens, I will be happy. I will be strong. God is always with me.'

One who goes after the taste of the tongue does not get to know the taste of the heart.

When people live in accordance with Nature, the song of life becomes sweet.
