Spread love everywhere you go; first of all in your house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.

In Calcutta alone, we have given more than 1,000 children in adoption. I cannot calculate how many babies we get a year. But we never refuse anybody. Everybody is most welcome.

Whatever we get from the government or other people - even one rupee we get, we give it to the poor. Completely free service.

My television is the tabernacle.

I belong to Jesus. He must have the right to use me without consulting me.

Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of Himself.
