The secret of happiness is not in doing what you like but in liking what you have to do.

In the beginning you can think, "The world is like a stage. I am only an actor. God is the director. All are His instruments, all are just ac­tors. He is directing everything." But do not always remain at that level. Move on. Think, "I am the un­changing Atma, not this changing personality and body."

Man must saturate his daily life in truthful speech, virtuous acts and holy thoughts.

Every child is born not only with a stomach that has to be catered to, it is also endowed with two hands which can work and produce the food for the stomach. The hands have to be given the strength and skill; they have to learn the lesson of self-reliance. They should never be lazy or slothful. Then, there can be no deficiency in food and no problem of underfeeding.

In cultivating human values, emphasis should also be placed on avoiding wastage of money, food and time.

Every experience is a lesson. Every loss is a gain.

Silence is the speech of the spiritual seeker.
