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.

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

To stay true to your art is such a complicated journey, and Dad clearly has done it.

You may fail to shine in the opinion of others, both in our conversation and actions, from being superior, as well as inferior to them.

If you desire to become a more generous person, don't wait for your income to change. Change your heart.

I wanted to be a professional dancer for a period of time, and I did a lot of dancing and choreography and got paid for it.

Banish the words 'I can't' from your vocabulary. Remember: If 'can't' equals 'won't', 'can' equals 'will'.

At the end of the day, I can end up just totally wacky, because I've made mountains out of molehills. With meditation, I can keep them as molehills.

Chaos, when left alone, tends to multiply.
