Accept people and situations as they are in life and then take action. The moment you do this, you'll see you are out of the confusion about anything in life.

Faith is giving the divine a chance to act.

How far to heaven? Just open your eyes and look. You are in heaven.

When you share your misery, it will not diminish. When you fail to share your joy, it diminishes. Share your problems only with the Divine, not with anyone else, as that will only increase the problems. Share your joy with everyone. Listen to others; yet do not listen. If your mind gets stuck in their problems, not only are they miserable, but you also become miserable.

No emotions are bad. But if they stay for long, then it is bad. Emotions should be like a line drawn on the surface of water.

Teachers can be a living example to their students. Not that teachers should look for students to idealize them. One who is worth idealizing does not care whether others idealize them or not. Everyone needs to see that you not only teach human values but you live them. It is unavoidable sometimes you will be idealized -- it is better for children to have a role model, or goal, because then the worshipful quality in them can dawn.

Our breath plays a very important role in our life. The breath is the connecting link between the inner world of the mind and the outer world of the body and environment.
