I'd met so many enlightened spiritual teachers that it became a challenge to select one. I believed in the oneness of spirituality - unconditional love for God, and unconditional compassion for the beings of this world - but I also understood that unless I chose a particular path, I couldn't focus and take blessings from teachers that would allow me to have deep realizations and spiritual experiences.

The Absolute Truth can be perceived by a repentant heart.

There cannot be love without trust and there cannot be trust unless we take the responsibility to act in a way that people can trust us.

Bhakti is expressed through our service attitude.

Wherever there is power, there is very great responsibility to utilize it properly.

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

In Kali yuga, duration of life is shortened not so much because insufficient food but because of irregular habits.
