There is nothing greater than the love of a mother.
God Himself resides in a virtuous mother
that teaches her children to live with
the wings of sincerity and self respect.
The first teacher of life for every child is the mother.
Hence it is important for every mother to love without fear,
without any desire other than that
of the complete welfare of her child.
That mother surrounds her child with God
from a very early age
will surely see her child reach the front door of God
and witness the child serving Guru as God.
Let every child worship the love of his mother
and let every mother free her child
from the clutches of attachment
and allow the child to reach the heights of divinity.

You pray that you may have peace at all the three levels –

He has activity, attainment, a hunger for expansion, for immortality.
But, what a pity, he does not dedicate his life to the Divine,

They must be used for good purposes,
fostering righteousness and well-being,
and fulfilling one's duties along the Divine path.
If riches are spent for realizing fleeting desires,
they can never be enough and the ego discovers newer
and more heinous ways of earning and spending.

These obstruct him at each step and act
as handicaps to spiritual advancement.
Of course, money is essential for
the process of living and labouring
for it cannot be avoided.
But, beyond a limit, riches foul
the mind and breed arrogance.

As science is progressing, ignorance is also increasing...
As science is progressing,
ignorance is also increasing.
Truly speaking, science has not matured.
It has become senseless.
All the troubles and miseries
in the modern world have their origin
in the so-called development of science and technology.
It is not technology but 'Tricknology' .

Grief is the feet and joy the head...
Grief is the feet and joy the head;
both are part of the same entity.
You cannot welcome joy and
reject grief at the same time.
You cannot have the obverse
without the reverse.
The diamond is at first
just a dull piece of stone, a hard pebble.
Only when it is cut by a skilled artisan
does it shine brilliantly like a flame.
Allow yourselves to be treated
by the Master so that all your
dullness will disappear and you will
emerge effulgent as a resplendent diamond.

Love sprouts, peace descends like dew...
Cultivate Love;
share that love with all.
How can you give one person
less and another more, when
they are both the same as you?
If you forget the basic Divinity,
hatred sprouts; envy raises its hood.
Love sprouts, peace descends like dew.
You are embodiments of love.
God has come to light the lamp
of love in your hearts, to see
that it shines day by day with added luster.
God has not come to speak on behalf
of any particular righteousness ,
like the Hindu Dharma.
God has not come on any mission
of publicity for any sect or creed or cause;
nor have God comes to collect followers for any doctrine.
God has no plan to attract disciples or devotees
into His fold or any fold. God have come to tell you
of this Universal unitary faith, this Aathmic principle,
this path of love, this dharma of prema,
this duty of love, this obligation to love.
