A spiritually established life is not an easy task. But a materially satisfied life is an impossible task.
Peace does not mean the absence of war, peace means the presence of harmony, love, satisfaction and oneness. Peace means a flood of love in the world family.
You hate someone whom you really wish to love, but whom you cannot love. Perhaps he himself prevents you. That is a disguised form of love.
Meditation is silence. Silence is God In His Infinity's Smile.
I compete only with myself, and I try to become a better human being. This is my goal.
Complete and total perfection will come about only when we feel that our perfection is no perfections as long as the rest of humanity remains imperfect.
Just one smile Immensely increases the beauty Of the universe.
Now is the time to make good use of time. Today is the day to begin a perfect day.
The meditation that gives you immediate joy or continuous joy is the best meditation for you. Everyone will not have the same meditation. Your meditation will not suit me, my meditation will not suit you. You like a certain food, I don't like it. You are right in your own way I am right in my own way. But once you know what your best meditation is, please stick to it.
I meditate So that I can inundate My entire being With the omnipotent Power of peace.
Even the tiniest of hopes can show me the way to arrive at my goal.
Try not to change the world. You will fail. Try to love the world. Lo, the world is changed. Changed forever.
Man invents war. Man discovers peace. He invents war from without. He discovers peace from within. War man throws. Peace man sows. The smile of war is the flood of human blood. The smile of peace is the love, below, above.
Every day there is only one thing to learn: how to be honestly happy.
