The very nature of kindness is to spread. If you are kind to others, today they will be kind to you, and tomorrow to somebody else.

The inner light actually comes from the soul; it is already inside us. The moment we can have free access to our soul, we will see that this light is coming to the fore to permeate our whole outer existence.

I do not compete with anybody else; I compete only with myself. You saw my capacity a few minutes ago. Now I am competing with myself. When I do weightlifting, my body is my world. If I can improve myself, if I can go beyond my previous achievements, then that is my goal. My own previous record is always what I am competing with.

What comes to me unmistakably is what I carefully or carelessly invite.

At times to think of one's outer helplessness is good, but to think always of one's inner strength is infinitely better.

Meditation stops the sound-loving mind.

When we transcend ourselves, we do not compete with others. We do not compete with the rest of the world, but at every moment we compete with ourselves.
