Through meditation, we can enhance our skill and capacity to receive knowledge.

There can be no liberation if you keep hanging onto knowledge. For liberation, one also has to forget everything learnt after some time.

In India, we have always believed in the saying, 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam', meaning that this entire world is one family. But when can we truly become one family? It is possible only by spreading knowledge; when everyone is at peace and when we can lovingly embrace everyone as our own.

Knowledge is possible only when you come close. From a distance, and in a formal atmosphere, knowledge cannot blossom. Being together is the foundation of knowledge.

The One who has transcended knowledge, who has transcended action, who has gone beyond the action and knowledge, attains the pure love that is everlasting.

You cannot separate knowledge and devotion. In the beginning, if there is knowledge, love (devotion) will soon follow. And if there is love (devotion) in the beginning then knowledge will soon follow. So never think of them as two separate paths.

When you are part of the master, you have every right to be happy. You have every right to Knowledge, happiness and the whole Universe.

When you get hurt, it's your karma. You must have hurt somebody sometime and so you got it back now. Nothing happens without a reason. This is the highest knowledge.

When we relate from the level of vibrations, that is Aatmasamvadan - soul to soul communication, and only in this level of communication real knowledge dawns.

No doubt there is no greater purifier than knowledge. But if you get stuck in knowledge only at an intellectual, or literal manner rather than assimilating it deep within, then the same knowledge becomes a source of bondage rather than liberation.

There are different kinds of strength. Knowledge is a strength. Love is a strength. Compassion and a sense of belongingness is also a strength. Forgiveness is a strength. Strength does not only mean having a lot of money. All the virtues and positive qualities within you are your strengths.

Put your mind in knowledge. You are here for a greater cause. Don't let small dust sit in your eyes. There is an abundance here of everything. Whatever you want, you have it, take it.

In spirituality, life is taken holistically. It is not that spirituality is one corner of life, it is the skill to see the wholeness of life. Everything is part of spirituality - food, music, dance, knowledge, instruments, technology; everything. And spirituality is attending to this wholeness of life.

Light lamps to spread light everywhere and also remind yourself that you too are a beautiful lamp and are here to spread the light of joy and knowledge. Everyone who comes to you should experience the light of joy, no one should feel sad. This is what you should pray for.

Dispassion to small things will take you higher to bigger things. The Knowledge of the End of our Journey brings certain Freedom, Relaxation. That is called Dispassion.

Whatever work you have and however busy you are, take that much needed 4-5 days for a silence program once in a year. Take 20 minutes every day to sit and listen to knowledge and meditate. This will keep your energy up.

The more you grow in knowledge, you see that ego goes away. You know, around the seed there is a membrane. When you soak it in water, the seed bulges, sprouts and automatically the membrane breaks away. But if you try to peel the skin, the seed itself will break. Same way, when you soak yourself in knowledge, in devotion, in love, and in wisdom, you automatically find the ego going away.

When you get into this knowledge, or into the centre core of your existence, you will not feel lonely at all. You will feel that the consciousness around you is alive. You will see everyone as your friend.

Children are like empty transparent vessels, whatever (knowledge) you fill them with, they will reflect the same and behave in that way. If you fill them with fear and wrong ideas, then they behave in that way. But when we give them good ideals and noble virtues, then they grow up to become ideal and responsible citizens.

Everybody wears clothes. Everybody takes a shower. Like this, everyone has to be taught mental hygiene, and meditation is mental hygiene. Knowledge keeps you mentally sane. Like dental hygiene, we must teach mental hygiene also to everyone in the world.
