Even if I want I cannot make you say sorry to God.

One day there springs up the desire for money and for all that money can provide — the superfluous, luxury in eating, luxury in dressing, trifles. Needs increase because one thing calls for another. The result is uncontrollable dissatisfaction. Let us remain as empty as possible so that God can fill us up.

Like Jesus we belong to the world living not for ourselves but for others. The joy of the Lord is our strength.

In vocal prayer we speak to God; in mental prayer he speaks to us. It is then that God pours Himself into us.

Each time anyone comes in contact with us, they must become different and better people because of having met us. We must radiate God's love.

Life is not worth living unless it is lived for others.

In the West we have a tendency to be profit-oriented, where everything is measured according to the results and we get caught up in being more and more active to generate results. In the East-especially in India-I find that people are more content to just be, to just sit around under a banyan tree for half a day chatting to each other. We Westerners would probably call that wasting time. But there is value to it. Being with someone, listening without a clock and without anticipation of results, teaches us about love. The success of love is in the loving-it is not in the result of loving.
