God alone can be within; no one else can. There is a person who claims to be your friend; can this friend of yours be within you? Worldly friends are external, but your true friend is inside; that is God! He alone can be both inside as well as outside, and He has the right to be so! Your heart is a...

If you immerse a pot in water, there is water in the pot and also around the pot. The water inside is not different from the water outside. The same is true of God. The scriptures say: Antarbahisca Tat Sarvam Vyapya Narayanah Sthitah - ‘God is present inside, outside, everywhere’. It is the same God...

The mind steeped in the Love of God is beyond any shock and strain like the chloroformed patient who is oblivious of the incisions made by the surgical instruments. Love, only of this kind, can ultimately be victorious. Pain is a part of life, and must be accepted at any cost. Pleasure is an...

The effulgence of Divinity can be seen when the six qualities of enthusiasm, dynamism, intellect, energy, courage, and valour shine in a person. Bhoga (craving for sensual pleasures) and tyaga (the spirit of sacrifice) cannot ever co-exist. Bhoga will not allow tyaga to come anywhere near, while...

Every object in the world has got certain unique qualities. The quality that is the vital essence of the object reveals its Dharma. For instance, it is the basic quality of fire to burn - burning is its Dharma. When the fire loses its capacity to burn, it ceases to be fire and becomes mere charcoal....

The man who leads a righteous life is bound to find peace. When you go into towns and villages for propagating Dharma, you have to tell the people: "Do not cause harm to anyone. Do not abuse anybody. Perform your duties with devotion. Make your heart pure." Realization of the Divine is the goal. But...
