You are a true representative of the spirituality of our home, India. Ever since I met you for the first time, the link between us has always grown in strength. I want to say how much I value the meaning of that bond, because it is one of true dedication to the service of God.

Though you may not be able to change it, you can handle an ugly situation beautifully.

We first have to find the way of freedom from involvement before we can introduce freedom in involvement.

The human spirit lives on creativity and dies in conformity and routine.

Work with sound until you are absolutely amazed that you can produce such a sound and it seems to you that you are just the instrument to which the divine pied piper blows the whisper of the incantations of his magic spell.

There can be no rebirth without a dark night of the soul, a total annihilation of all that you believed in and thought that you were.

Overcome any bitterness that may have come because you were not up to the magnitude of the pain entrusted to you. Like the mother of the world who carries the pain of the world in her heart, you are sharing in a certain measure of that cosmic pain, and are called upon to meet it in joy instead of self pity.
