The flip side of happiness is suffering.

Japa, Bhajana and Kirtana are superficial to the extent that we are not humble.

The dirty wax of egotism accumulated in the heart prevents us from clearly hearing the Lord's voice within. A guru, with the stick of knowledge, cleans our hearts. It's really ugly to see what may come out, but by following patiently, we keep cleaning.

Service is life. No service means, spiritually no life.

If someone takes responsibility without force, that is love.

When you take a position, you have to accept responsibilities.

If you love God, you can't hate anything or anyone. If the love one offers is met with hate, it doesn't die, rather it manifests in the form of compassion. That is universal love. It is not just a sentiment. It cannot be manifested merely by a shift in mental disposition. It can only come from inner cleaning, an inner awakening.
