- Serve
Only that action is natural which is in harmony with God's nature.
The sun shines without motivation.
Flowers blossom without reason.
Service is a continuous outpouring of the heart that is full of love.
Therefore every action becomes an act of God.
- Meditate
Meditation cannot enter into me, I must enter into meditation.
The whole of my mind, the whole of my self, everything, must enter into meditation, as if 'I' does not exist.
That is when 'samadhi' happens.
- Love
The important thing in Yoga is to love God.
Love God in your own way, as your father, mother, friend, master, child or lover.
Divert all your love to Him.
Worship Him in and through the temples, churches, synagogues and mosques - but worship Him in your own home too.
- Love
There is a state in which there is no deliberate thought; there is a state in which there is no thinking as such - I think.
That state is total surrender, absolute devotion, complete and total love.
- Love
Religion has not failed us, we have failed religion - and we have dragged religion down with us.
How deeply religious we are is revealed by how well we relate to others in this world.
It is when we are full of love in all our relationships that we really and truly love God, who is omnipresent.
