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."

Do not spend your time thinking about the world or your relationships to individuals. These are all impermanent. They have only to do with the body.

It is only by means of purity of mind can you come close to the Lord.

The narrow-minded who undertake any work will never be satisfied. They cannot understand the actions of those who are large hearted and broad-minded.

We do meditation, spiritual practices in this temporary body. Though this body is temporary, you have to use temporary things to realize the Truth.

In meditation you first get sense control. And yoga will help you with the body and when the mind is steady, concentration will come automatically. When you get such concentration, then you get peace of mind.

The man filled with good qualities like Truth, Love, absence of jealousy, ego and hatred, can see God without searching for Him. He becomes a Jnani (a man of spiritual wisdom).
