Never worry about things That you are unable to change. Change your own way Of looking at truth,
There is no fundamental difference between one religion and another, because each religion embodies the ultimate Truth. Each religion is right, absolutely right, because each religion conveys the message of Truth in its own way.
The way to become happy Is to think And to feel That the very best is yet to come.
Even the tiniest of hopes can show me the way to arrive at my goal.
The very nature of kindnessIs to spread.If you are kind to others,Today they will be kind to you,And tomorrow to somebody else.
The aspiring soul which he embodies is the lover in him. And the transcendental Self which he reveals from within is his Beloved.
Let us not worryAbout the future.Let us only do the right thingToday,At this moment,Here and now.Let the future take care of itself.

My service to humanity is my real opportunity to prove my genuine love for God and God alone.
