Always have com­plete faith in the indwelling God who takes care of everything. True greatness can only come from faith.

It is only when man cultivate humanness that society will shine with radiance and the nation and the world will progress. Humanness can be promoted only through spirituality and not by any other means. Just as a seed can sprout only when it is planted in the soil and watered, human values can grow only in a spiritual soil. If a man wants to cultivate human values, he has to apply the manure of spirituality to his heart, water it with love so that human values will grow.

Duty without love is deplorable.

As close as you are to God, so close is God to you.

Being a good example is the best form of service.

Let all beings in all the worlds be happy. Include this universal prayer in your prayers every day. This is my birthday message to you.

Virtue is the panacea for both body and mind. The virtuous person can be both healthy and happy. How is virtue to be cultivated? How can it express itself in daily practice? Through service to living beings, through seva. Virtue must flow through the triple channel of love, mercy and detachment, in order to feed the roots of seva.
