Our misery comes, not from work, but by our getting attached to something. Take for instance, money: money is a great thing to have, earn it, says Krishna; struggle hard to get money, but don't get attached to it. So with children, with wife, husband, relatives, fame, everything; you have no need to shun them, only don't get attached. There is only one attachment and that belongs to the Lord, and to none other.

As the cause is, so the effect will be Cause is never different from effect, the effect is but the cause reproduced in another form.

The finer is always the cause, the grosser the effect. So the external world is the effect, the internal the cause.

May blessings and happiness attend every step of your progress in this world.

Hinduism is the mother of all religions

Despite the many iniquities that have found entrance into the practices of image-worship as it is in vogue now, I do not condemn it. Ay, where would I have been if I had not been blessed with the dust of the holy feet of that orthodox, image-worshipping Brahmin!

Each nation has a main current in life; in India it is religion. Make it strong and the waters on either side must move along with it.
