My son, forbearance is a great virtue; there's no other like it.

The happiness of the world is transitory. The less you become attached to the world, the more you enjoy peace of mind.

You see, my son, it is not a fact that you will never face dangers. Difficulties always come, but they do not last forever. You will see that they pass away like water under a bridge.

God cannot be realized without love. Yes, sincere love.

Don't be afraid. Human birth is full of suffering and one has to endure everything patiently, taking the Name of God. None, not even God in human form can escape the sufferings of the body and mind.

Even the impossible becomes possible through devotion.

No one can suffer for all time. No one will spend all his days on this earth in suffering. Every action brings its own result, and one gets one's opportunities accordingly.

Open your grief-stricken heart to the Lord. Weep and sincerely pray, 'O Lord, draw me towards You; give me peace of mind.' By doing so constantly you, will gradually attain peace of mind.

As you smell the fragrance of a flower by handing it or the smell of sandalwood by rubbing it against a stone, so you obtain spiritual awakening by constantly thinking of God.

There is no treasure equal to contentment and no virtue equal to fortitude.

One must be patient like the earth. What iniquities are being perpetuated on her! Yet she quietly endures them all.

A man without trust might as well be dead.

Whatever you do you need courage. ... To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs.

There's no such thing as a bad dog, just a bad owner.

The only thing over which you have complete right of control at all times is your mental attitude.

It was for one minute that I saw him, but the hair stood upon my head like quills. Sir, if that was my master, why had he a mask upon his face?

My ex-wife is a water sign and I'm an earth sign. Together we made mud.

The crowd is the veil through which the familiar city beckons to the flâneur as phantasmagoria-now a landscape, now a room.
