Don't expect your friend to be a perfect person. Help your friend to become a perfect person. That is true friendship

God does not create poverty; we do, because we do not share.

In our home (for the dying at Kali Ghat) in Calcutta, there is great peace, unity and love. Many Hindu families bring food, clothing nonstop to our home for the dying. This is an act of love. I didn't ask them. They have only heard about what I am doing and they all come.

Faith keeps the person who keeps the faith.

Let us make that one point - that no child will be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, or killed and thrown away.

When a poor person dies of hunger it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.

Silence of the heart is necessary so you can hear God everywhere - in the closing of the door, in the person who needs you, in the birds that sing, in the flowers, in the animals.
