Speak less, listen deeply.

Cut the cords of attachment. Expand the circle of love.

Save now, so you are not dependent on your children when you are old

When we disrespect a person, we disrespect God

To master life, control the mind. To control the mind, guard your speech.

Love is the process of melting into the other

Pray with a pure heart and pray from where you are. He will answer your prayers. There is no need to abandon the world or retreat to a jungle

Pray as if you possess no will. Work as if everything depends on you.

The secret of true happiness lies within unwavering devotion to God

Know the one who wants nothing to be the wealthiest

The least among the sadhus, saints and monks and other people of God is worthier than you. Never speak ill of them

The closer we are to God, the richer we are

It is the devotee’s job to chant God’s name. It is God’s business to keep count.

Don’t wait for the right conditions. All you need for your growth is available to you in this moment

Do not expect too much from the world. We are here to give not to take.

Love does not expect anything in return

Praise the one who speaks ill of you. Before long he will become a friend

God gives us opportunity to serve him by serving humanity.

Humility is more powerful than egoistic pride. Water is more powerful than the strongest cliff and Love is more powerful than might.

Spiritual growth is the only real growth

To live in a peaceful home is to experience paradise on earth

Do not desire a long life or an early death

Hatred can be cured by love.

Be contented with the things of the world. Develop greed for God.

If you won’t improve yourself, who will?

The brighter stars emerge out of the blackest darkness.

Serve your parents if you expect your children to serve you when you are old

To live without an aim is to wander in a wilderness.

Fools only crib about what they do not have. They do not count their blessings.

Think, how hard it is to change yourself. How can it be easy to change others?

The true value of a gift is the sentiment behind the gifting.

If your aims are lofty, your achievements are bound to be great.

Be patient and keep faith. It will all fall into place.

Love is God, and the one that believes in love, believes in God.

Do not bank on mere mortals. Trust the One who will never fail you

Consider how blessed you are to have the things you do in life.

Do not gossip about monks and speak ill of spiritual teachers

If you wish to enjoy a position, find ways of being useful, hard working and cooperative with the people whose favour has given you the position

Live every day as if it is a festival. Turn your life into a celebration

Never be proud but show humility towards others, true wisdom lies in being humble.

Fear exists because we do not have faith.

Worship offered with stale flower and an unclean mind is of no value

Do not return evil for evil

God and devotee are bound for ever in ropes of love

Respect those elder to you in years, in knowledge and spiritual attainment and act with love and compassion with those who are younger or less fortunate than you.

Water and grace flow to persons and places that are lower.

Constant remembrance of the Almighty will bring you everlasting happiness and peace

We are all poor in the face of God’s majesty. Not all of us realise it.

Money comes to those who act intelligently, and God to those who hunger for his grace

Spiritual knowledge is fruitful only when it is applied
