If you love a person, you accept the total person. With all the defects. Because those defects are a part of the person.

The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.

One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth.

You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.

Life begins where fear ends.

Be realistic: Plan for a miracle.

Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.

Millions of people are suffering: they want to be loved but they don’t know how to love. And love cannot exist as a monologue; it is a dialogue, a very harmonious dialogue.

My meditation is simple. It does not require any complex practices. It is simple. It is singing. It is dancing. It is sitting silently.
