My child, I bless you from my heart that you live long, attain devotion, and enjoy peace. Peace is the principal thing. One needs peace alone.

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.

No two snowflakes are alike and neither are the Soldier's in your charge. Don't make the mistake of treating your Soldier's like tangible things instead of the valued human assets they are.

Beauty can get a woman what she wants: love and money. But when beauty leaves you so can the things it brought.

Whoever thought the future would feel so much like the present?

Never measure your generosity by what you give, but rather by what you have left.

All things except reason and order are possible with a mob.

There is the heat of Love, the pulsing rush of Longing, the lover’s whisper, irresistible—magic to make the sanest man go mad.

Every day look at a beautiful picture, read a beautiful poem, listen to some beautiful music, and if possible, say some reasonable thing.

Africa is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

The only thing more destructive than a tornado is a family.

Live, it's just the free flow and the energy and the excitement. It's a one-off and you have that adrenaline for an hour and a half.
