It's time we come of age as a nation. Let's make a clear statement that 'freebies for votes' is not the way. We want long-term solutions for the well-being of all.

Every word you utter, every action you take in your life, is it for everyone’s well-being, or is it just about you? Just fix this one thing.

Lust is a strong need. Love is not a need. When you love, you settle down; nothing more is needed.

Education is not just an accumulation of information but essentially about enhancing one’s ability to perceive.

Do not look up to anything, nor look down on anything. Then you will see creation just the way it is.

What you do should not define who you are. Who you are should define what you do.

Doubt is good. It means you are searching for truth. Suspicion is sickness – it means you already made a negative conclusion.

The most important thing in life is balance. If there is no balance, your own body and mind will work against you.

Freedom of speech is enshrined in our Constitution so that we use it to build the nation, not dismantle the nation. Every citizen should be aware of this responsibility.

Health is not just being disease-free. Health is when every cell in your body is bouncing with life.

Life is not about what you have, what you wear, where you live, or who is around you. It is about the profoundness of your experience.

Constructive criticism of policy and government’s functioning is fine. That is the life breath of democracy. Blind opposition is just prejudice.

Heaven and hell are not geographical locations, just dimensions of experience.

An intelligent person knows that he is a fool but a fool does not know that he is a fool.

Don’t be dead serious about your life. Seriousness will bring the quality of Death while alive.

It is not about how much you do. The only question is, are you giving yourself totally. Are you a full-on life.

There are 400 million people in this nation who cannot eat even one full meal. When that is the case, there should be no room for vested interests working against the nation's wellbeing.

When you live for everyone, everyone takes care of you.

How you handle a situation is not entirely your choice. But how you handle yourself is entirely yours.

Meditation is not an act – it is a quality.

In the past, change of power never happened without bloodshed. The reason democracy is significant is we change power without spilling a drop of blood. If we get into a feudalistic mindset, we will once again see blood in the name of power changes.

If your idea of success is just about being ahead of others, you will definitely not explore the full potential of who you are.

Spiritual process is not a change of attitude or behavior but of fundamental change in the way you think, feel and Experience life.

Democracy means every 5 years, you have a chance to evaluate whether the govt. has done something worthwhile. If they haven't, vote them out. But once you elect a govt., it is our fundamental responsibility to support the government and do the best we can for the nation.

Water is life-making material. Saving water resources is Saving Life.

The forests, rivers, and mountains are a life much larger than us, in many ways the source and sustenance of our lives. A bit of caution in all we do is needed to keep them intact.

Color is visual fragrance. Right mix of colors can be uplifting.

Integrity is about Inclusiveness. Integrity is not a bunch of principles or morals but about being sensitive to all concerned life around.

If anyone believes an elected government is working against the nation's interests, the makers of our Constitution provided sufficient instruments to stop such things. There are avenues to address such issues. Vitriol is not the solution.

Opinions are like cataracts. They will not allow you to see clearly.
