I took an interest in the Civil Rights Movement. I listened to Martin Luther King. The Vietnam War was raging. When I was 18, I was eligible for the draft, but when I went to be tested, I didn't qualify.

The only way we can make this world a better place is to transcend it.

Fierce Determination and Gentle Humility are the ornaments which make one attractive in the eyes of the Lord.

If our mind is in conflict, not balanced with our body and with the needs of the soul, then there is a fundamental disunity in our life. Only if we have unity within ourselves, we can create unity in the world around us. You can't give something you don't have, even if you have all good intentions

Sincerity in sadhna and eagerness to serve is the basis of one's relationship with the spiritual master.

A sincere soul is not trying to make a show. His enthusiasm is an act of service.

The greater is our sphere of influence, the greater the responsibility.
