Sadhana (spiritual practice) is most required to control the mind and the desires after which it runs.

The human body is spoken of as a temple where the individual soul is installed. I would prefer to describe it as a house taken on rent by you. God is the Master, the owner. The jeevi (individual soul / tenant) has taken it on rent and is occupying it. The rent has to be paid in the form of good...

In creation there are many things which are naturally bad. Out of these bad things, good emerges. When one desires something, the desire is associated with aversion to something else.

Resolve to be good and loving from this moment. Do your duties gladly and to the satisfaction of your well-wishers.

A game of football (soccer) is played by two teams, each team consisting of ten players playing on each side of the field. While playing, each team strives to score a goal by shooting the ball between the two goal posts. Life is a game, in which one has to aim at leading one's life between the two...

The more you love humanity, the greater would be the happiness that you experience. On the other hand, if your love is feeble, then so will be your sense of joy. Therefore, love all. What do you lose by loving all? Nothing whatsoever. Love can confer so much joy. If you smile, others would do the...
