Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do something you don't necessarily want to do, to get a result you would really like to have.

Every single thing you do matters. You have been created as one of a kind. You have been created in order to make a difference. You have within you the power to change the world.

When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous

The triumphs of a mysterious non-meeting are desolate ones; unspoken phrases, silent words.

Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it is hurtful.

Something incomprehensible is not for that reason less real.

Know honor, Yet keep humility. Be the valley of the universe! Being the valley of the universe, Ever true and resourceful, Return to the state of the uncarved block.

Understand before you pass judgement. But how do you pass judgement once you have understood?

Love. Purpose. Those are things that you can't plan for. Those are things that just happen.
