There is no yawning gulf between man and God. Through his aspiration and meditation, Man can become conscious of his oneness with God.
Meditation is my soul's soundless conversation with my inner pilot.
Let us not try to understand music with our mind. Let us not even try to feel it with our heart. Let us simply and spontaneously allow the music-bird to fly in our heart-sky. While flying, it will unconditionally reveal to us what it has and what it is. What it has, is Immortality's message. What it is, is Eternity's passage.
Not one But twenty-four self-giving-hours Every day I have For my use.
Our goal is not to have A problem-free life. But to conquer all the problems As they appear Along our life-road.
Whether you accept or reject it, God's Love for you is permanent.
God is beyond definition. But according to one's own vision or receptivity, one will define God in one's own way. Some will say that God is all Love. Others will say that God is all Power. Each one will see God according to his own necessity, his own receptivity and, finally, according to the way God wants him to see the ultimate Truth.
May peace-dreamers And peace-lovers Occupy the length and breadth Of the world.
You do not have to be The fastest starter. Just be a starter! You will, without fail, Reach your destination-sun.

Our soul lives in Peace and lives for Peace. If we live a life of peace, we are ever enriched and never impoverished. Unhorizoned is our inner peace; like the boundless sky, it encompasses all.
The joy of a self-giving life Can neither be measured Nor be expounded.
I am not even six feet tall. Yet I am praying to the Absolute Supreme to reach His infinite Height, which is far beyond even my imagination's flight. For me to long to grow into that Height - is this not a miracle? I am mortal. My thoughts, my deeds, my experiences - everything that I have and everything that I am - represent mortality. Yet despite everything that I have and everything that I am, I am longing for Immortality. Is this not a miracle?
What does peace do? Peace blossoms. What else? Peace spreads. What else? Peace illumines. What else? Peace fulfils.
