As clouds are blown away by the wind, the thirst for material pleasures will be driven away by the utterance of the Lord's name.

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.

I feel like I’ve been split open and stuffed with sunshine.

Some people are still alive only because they find being dead more boring than being alive.

You don't need endless time and perfect conditions. Do it now. Do it today. Do it for twenty minutes and watch your heart start beating.

I can't hear music. I don't understand it. It's so above and beyond me.

The moon just crapped the bed.

I'm just me - the way I am.

Thank you for nothing.

Even to me, as I was trying to tell the government what had happened, it just didn't seem to matter.

(About events he will take part in) I vaulted today, and I'll throw the discus tomorrow around one o' clock. Then I'll race in the 100-meter final at 3:45 on Saturday.

Write on my gravestone: 'Infidel, Traitor.', infidel to every church that compromises with wrong; traitor to every government that oppresses the people.
